I wanted to share an amazing food blog and community access cooking show in Brooklyn called Food Heaven Made Easy with Wendy and Jess. They share their show in monthly installments on Brooklyn Community Access Television.
The show was created by Nutrition Educators Wendy Lopez and Jessica Jones as a creative outlet to help underserved communities in New York City improve their diets and overall health. The show’s mission is to reduce the risk of obesity in NYC by demonstrating how to prepare culturally diverse, delicious, quick and cost conscious meals at home. Most importantly, the show will provide viewers with a wealth of nutrition information as we create healthy vegetarian dishes that are nutrient dense and energy rich!
Their work is at the heart of food justice, reaching out to communities with little to no access to healthy food or education around making healthy choices. They have a great interactive Q&A section on their website and currently have 4 episodes of cost conscious culinary tips. Check out their blog and their videos at Food Heaven Made Easy. Here are their first 4 episodes.
