Guest: Sherrie Brooks Vinton

Join Dawn and Jennifer today as they welcome guest Sherrie Brooks Vinton, author of The Real Food Revival. You might expect a food epiphany to strike in the kitchen, at the table, maybe in the market. For Sherri Brooks Vinton her ‘aha’ moment came on the back of a motorcycle. A cross-country tour brought her face-to-face with the negative impacts of industrial agriculture and compelled her to trade in her career as a dot .com executive to begin a quest for food raised with integrity. Her first book, The Real Food Revival: Aisle by Aisle, Morsel by Morsel, is a result of that search and offers practical tips for eaters who, like herself, want a more delicious, sustainable future. The Real Food Revival was a Publisher’s Weekly Starred Selection and was nominated for the 2005 “Books for a Better Life” award. Sherri’s writing has appeared in magazines such as Slow, the national magazine of Slow Food, Radish and Healthy Living NYC. Her monthly newsletter, “Sustainable Solutions,” is a resource of advice and recipes for anyone who wants to join this exciting food movement. Sherri is a Regional Governor of Slow Food and is a member of Women Chefs and Restaurateurs, the Northeast Organic Farmers Association, International Association of Culinary Professionals, and Chefs Collaborative.
