A message from Wanderlust Co-Founder Jeff Krasno:
Our mission at Wanderlust is to help people find their true north. Through creating experiences and recipes for living, we hope to navigate people along their path to cultivating their best selves: to living happy, healthy and inspired lives. Finding your true north is not an end unto itself, it’s a journey of outward adventure and inward self-exploration.
Food is at the center of this journey.
Every day, on average, we spend 75 minutes eating and another 35 minutes preparing food. We spend precious time and money shopping for it. Food can make us sick and food can heal us. It brings our families and friends together in community around a common table. Yet, it can divide us, pitting agro-business against the local farmer, offering its bounty to some and leaving others in food deserts.
There is no diet or approach to food that is right for everyone. The premise of this book is to create a guide for healthy and mindful food choices that can help you feel your best—to find your true fork! These approaches to food and their recipes are expressed through the stories of exceptional chefs who have navigated their own personal journeys and have chosen a life dedicated to food and its incredible power.
Dedication
To anyone who has struggled with food
Who has felt sick or fatigued
Who has battled with the image of the person in the mirror
Who is hungry for creativity
Who thirsts for a better version of themselves
This book is for you.
May you find your true fork.
