I love thinking, reading and talking about it. And of course, I love eating it. The French (my culinary kindred spirits) have a word for someone like me: gourmand.

I have been vegetarian for more than 25 years. My diet mainly consists of whole foods and fresh produce. I also limit my intake of dairy and gluten. For my family, I cook a more traditional fare, including meat dishes, creamy sauces and sweet treats, making healthier substitutions when possible. (I&#8217;ll pay extra for the ketchup without high-fructose corn syrup but I&#8217;ve been known to buy a bag of Oreos.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I feel that cooking and eating good food together with friends and family is essential to building lasting bonds. I have my mother to thank for that. She and I have spent countless, memorable hours cooking together since my teenage years. Now that I am a mother with my own family, gathering around the dinner table each night is a priority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love food.
