MBSFood: Feeding the Hungry Ghost with author Ellen Kanner

Do you make time to cook in an overscheduled world? Can you successfully involve kids in preparing meals? Do you believe that healthy food is difficult to prepare and expensive? Do you connect your meals with the seasons? Do you understand  the cultural and spiritual aspects of what you eat?

Tune in as we explore these questions and more with guest, Ellen Kanner! Ellen is an award-winning food writer and author of Feeding the Hungry Ghost: Life, Faith and What to Eat for Dinner. She is also Huffington Post's Meatless Monday blogger and the syndicated columnist Edgy Veggie, is published in Bon Appetit, Eating Well, Vegetarian Times, Every Day with Rachael Ray, and Culinate as well as in other online and print publications. She’s an ardent advocate for sustainable, accessible food, serving on the Miami boards of Slow Food and Common Threads.

When she’s not teaching underserved students to cook and speaking about what we’re hungry for, Ellen takes time to tend her tiny organic vegetable garden, hike in the Everglades, make friends with cows and make dinner with friends. She believes in close community, strong coffee, organic food and red lipstick. A fourth-generation Floridian, she lives la vida vegan in Miami with her husband.
