My Professional Blurb
Lia Huber believes you don’t have to be a chef or “foodie” to cook fabulous-tasting food and you don’t need to be a nutritionist to make healthy choices. She is the author of NOURISHED: A Memoir of Food, Faith and Enduring Love (with Recipes). In 2009, Lia founded NOURISH Evolution to empower people to make the shift from processed food to real food in real life. Lia is also a widely-published writer and recipe developer for magazines like Cooking Light, Prevention and Health, and speaks frequently on television and in person to rally others to the NOURISH Evolution.
