Thank you so very much for giving me an honest perspective on nutrition, for looking over my blog post, filling me in on what I missed, when I was out sick, and being so upbeat, supportive, curious, and encouraging. It was such a pleasure to learn from you and Brenda and you two make a great team. Thank you for teaching me so I am a nutritionally informed and aware chef.
