In this episode, Dina dishes with Janet Irizarry who shares insights into the scale of the household food waste problem and how we can all take meaningful action, starting in our own kitchens. Janet also discusses the true value of mindful food choices—beyond just nourishment—and how aligning these choices with our core values can nourish our bodies, minds, and souls while positively impacting the planet.

Janet Irizarry, M.Ed has had an incredible 30-year career in the restaurant industry, including over 25 years owning and operating restaurants. In 2016, she launched Hudson Valley EATS, a platform that celebrates food entrepreneurs and later evolved into a resource for educating others about sustainability in food. For the past seven years, Janet has been teaching at the Culinary Institute of America in the School of Business Management, and has earned a master’s degree in Instructional Design and Technology to refine her skills as a course designer.

Whether you're a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with practical advice you can apply right away.
