Helping children understand food, emotions and healthy choices through the power of storytelling.
Because the conversations we avoid are often the ones that cause the most pain, and also the ones that can generate the greatest healing, growth, and transformation.
We write with courage so that others can read with hope.
Why do we write about important topics?

Whether you discovered Human Development Through Food Stories™ through a book, a classroom, a video, a workshop, a podcast, a school, a nonprofit, or simply through a conversation, I want to thank you for taking the time to understand what this movement is truly about. Many people first believe we are creating books about food. Others think we are creating cookbooks. Some think we are teaching nutrition. While food is certainly part of our work, it is not our destination. It is our doorway. Human Development Through Food Stories™ was created from one simple belief:
Our mission
To inspire and empower individuals and communities through stories about food that nurture the body, develop the mind, strengthen the heart, and transform lives.
Our Vision
A world where every person understands the power of food and stories to create a healthier, kinder, more educated, and more compassionate humanity.
