Lost the Battle But Not The War!

Like many of you who want the chance to feed your family wholesome food that doesn’t cause cancer, I was so disappointed with the outcome of Prop 37. I suppose it is a David and Goliath type of battle but I am confident that we the people will someday win against the insidious agro-corporations. A few friends and I have created a coalition to start bringing awareness to the issue again. My incredible friend chef Nina Clemente (in photo above) will be cooking up a feast with our very own Michael Reed (who taught us roses to make risotto), for three nights at the end of this month to support our group Reclaim Real Food. The proceeds of the event are donated to the inspiring organization The Garden School Foundation which has children turn asphalts into gardens. Soon to come an interview with the wonder lady herself Nina. All the produce will be donated by our friends at One Gun Ranch, Maggie’s Farms, and The Garden School Foundation. If you are interested in finding out more about the pop up dinners take a look at Reclaim Real Food.

The Story:

I first met Nina when she just moved out to LA from New York. She was just starting out as a chef and I decided to hire her for a fashion event I was hosting. She seemed quite young but there was a passion and electricity bubbling from her that seemed contagious. Needless to say the food at the event was a huge success, and from that moment I began to refer her to as many friends as I could. She now is on the verge of becoming a Chef celebre and fighting the good fight against GMOS. She is a talented real food warrior determined to use her talents for positive change.
