Raquel Moreno is the author of La Nena’s Kitchen: A Guide to Plant-Based Cooking at Home. She began her work in food out of a desire to help people enjoy vibrant food for a vibrant life. She has led teams of nutritionists and cooks in teaching youth and adults to prepare nourishing, delicious meals with the foods most readily available to them.
