From the garden
to your kitchen.

How Good Food Works from Seed to Plate grew from the Nourish Program at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health. It connects growing food, preparing it well, and understanding how it supports health.

I coauthored the book with Laura S. Moore and Joseph R. Novak and developed its recipes. Inside are more than 100 recipes, kitchen techniques, and guidance for bringing more vegetables and flavor to the table.
