Joy's Organic Kitchen

I have often been asked how I prepare healthy food on a daily basis. This is my way to show you my daily life with food: shopping at the Hollywood Farmers Market; turning beautiful produce into delicious feasts; buying, storing and cooking food within the confines of my busy life; and doing it all on a budget. I hope you will get some ideas that will fit into your life; and an expanded way of looking at food and its connection with your body, your health, your community and the planet.
