WHO IS NINA LESSER-GOLDSMITH, ANYWAY?

Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Nina grew up in a family that held food near and dear. Her Great Grandmother, Grandmother and mother all spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking traditional family food and experimenting with cuisines from all over the world. When Nina was three years old her mother started Healthy Living, and food took on an even more important role. Nina’s first job was at Mirabelle’s Café with Allison Lane and Andrew Silva. After college at the George Washington University, she went to the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan, cooked in several restaurants and became a personal chef. She moved back to Vermont to start the Healthy Living Learning Center and the rest is delicious history.
