Garden Food Cured My High Blood Pressure & More + Perfect Holiday Dish & Alcohol Free Rose-Yay! with Eydie Desser of the Harden of Eydie After a long career in the radio business and being diagnosed with super high blood pressure (178/115), Eydie decided to take a break from the rat race. She had a passion for cooking and wanted to learn from Master Chefs techniques of how to create delicious food, so she attended The French Culinary Institute in NYC and earned a Grand Diploma in Culinary, learning from the likes of Jacques Pepin, Alice Waters and other culinary greats. Eydie's boyfriend liked her food so much, he asked her to marry him! Soon there after they moved to Los Angeles, (Ed's hometown). California, opened up a whole new world of being exposed to not only the freshest produce from which to create beautiful dishes, but also incredibly healthful ones as well. She also found herself not meeting lots of health “nuts” in yoga class. This is where Eydie learned how important food is to health. Taking blood pressure pills for over 20 years was not working and she Eydie started searching for alternative sollutions. That's when she learned about True North Health, a water-only fasting organization that heals 100% of their patients from high blood pressure. Eydie's blood pressure weighed in at 178/115 before the fast, and that was on medication! Now it's just 98/60, no pills, just plants! The only caveat? True North's Dr. Klaper and Dr. Goldhamer wanted her to eat a whole food plant based diet without salt, oil, or sugar for the next…50 years! No problem at all right? That's really when Eydie went all in on creating delicious and nutritious plant based recipes for her and her loved ones to enjoy and increase quality of life from every aspect.

Investigative journalist Arun Gupta returns to the podcast to report on the pro-Palestine student encampments that have bloomed on university and college campuses across the United States and around the world over the past several weeks. He has been documenting the protests on campuses across New York City, including Columbia University and City College of New York (CCNY), which has seen some of the most high-profile repression from police and counter-demonstration agitators. “This movement is really about hope, and we should not lose sight of this fact. That is the most important story that should be coming out, that students acted because they had great hope. Hope is not woowoo; it is hardcore Marxist, materialistic, and dialectical. Hope comes from our collective strategizing and imagination, which is rooted in the material conditions. It is dialectical in the sense that you cannot achieve political change without having great hope and the imagination that we can do this: we will win—not that we can, but we will—and that is just absolutely fundamental. It's not enough—you still need strategizing, leadership, organization, and some degree of luck. But radical change doesn't flow from oppression. It flows from people who believe, amid the great horrors and traumas that the ruling class visits upon us, that we can collectively make the situation better, and that's what all these students all exuded.” Arun Gupta is an investigative reporter who has written for the Guardian, the Daily Beast, the Intercept, The Washington Post, and other publications. He is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, cooked professionally in New York City, and is author of the forthcoming, Apocalypse Chow: A Junk-Food Loving Chef Explains How America Created the Most Revolutionary Food System in History (The New Press).

Embark on a flavorful journey with us, Dave and Jen, as we take a stroll down memory lane and relive our early adventures in marriage. Our latest episode is a culinary escapade, beginning with our quirky arrival in Boston during the infamous Big Dig. We searched high and low for the enigmatic No Name restaurant, and its hidden charm didn't disappoint. Our narrative doesn't stop there; it's a smorgasbord of experiences from gourmet treats in SoHo to a student-prepared feast that made our taste buds dance at the French Culinary Institute.The roads of Vermont welcomed us with its springtime splendor and tucked-away culinary gems. We chat about the cozy bed-and-breakfast that served meals too divine to forget and a riverside sandwich stop that felt like a secret shared between the trees and the babbling brook. We took a chance with the Trapp Family Lodge's five-course dinner and found ourselves enamored with Vermont's local maple syrup and artisan chocolates. The highlight, perhaps, was overcoming our skepticism about Vermont coffee, only to be pleasantly surprised by its robust flavor.Rounding out our gastronomic tour, we share tales from the heart of Boston, where Italian feasts and historical bites along the Freedom Trail delighted and inspired us. During our reflections, we touch on the culinary schools that we toured, each with its unique offerings, and how these visits influenced our life-changing decision to start a family. So, pull up a chair and join us at the table for a podcast episode that's seasoned with laughter, love, and a dash of nostalgia.Support the show

Join Eydie Desser as she invites you to learn how to make Real food for Real Transformation, making delicious recipes without sacrificing your health. After a long career in the radio business and after being diagnosed with super high blood pressure, Eydie decided to take a break from the rat race. She had a passion for cooking and wanted to learn the techniques of how to create delicious food from Master Chefs. So she attended The French Culinary Institute in NYC, and earned a Grand Diploma in Culinary, learning from the likes of Jacques Pepin, Alice Waters and other culinary greats. She and her husband moved to California which opened a whole new world of being exposed to not only the freshest produce from which to create beautiful dishes, but also meeting lots of health “nuts” in yoga class. This is where Eydie learned how important food was to health. Still taking blood pressure pills for over 25 years she learned about True North Health, a water-only fasting organization that heals 100% of their patients from high blood pressure. Eydie's blood pressure weighed in at 178/115 before the fast, and that was on her medication! Now it's just 98/60, no pills, just plants! The one huge caveat her True North Drs. Klaper and Goldhamer told her was that she had to eat WFPB SOS free for the next 50 years! As a board member of The Plantrician Project (doctors teaching other doctors the power of food as medicine), Eydie wanted to be part of the mission to promote to the general public how to eat and be healthy. That, plus her culinary background and her organic garden inspired her to create Garden of Eydie: to help spread the Plant Based Doctors' wisdom and provide the most delicious and nutritious recipes. Garden of Eydie answers the questions: What seeds are you planting in your body garden for health, heart garden for love and compassion, and mind garden for joy and success in all areas of life. In a “nutshell” pun intended! Life is all about our attitude, gratitude and healthy, delicious food.

Today's episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.    Just before Netflix premiered its sensational docuseries “Bad Vegan,” Sarma Melngailis spoke exclusively with ALBC about all the shit she endured with culty conman Mr. So-called Fox. Go back and check out that episode for the grisly details and now foreboding hope that Netflix would shed light – not shade – on the confounding circumstances that led to the demise of Sarma's brand One Lucky Duck and her beloved restaurant Pure Food and Wine. If you didn't already know it, Pure Food and Wine was hip, sexy, nutritious, and delicious. It was raw vegan food with style in Gramercy Park. Manhattan where, on any given night, you could run into Janet Jackson, Bill Clinton, Stevie Wonder, or Alec Baldwin. It was the shit. Until it wasn't.    Netflix was ready.   Through all the pomp and circumstance, we at ALBC can't help but look into the dark side of cult survivor narratives turned entertainment. Now that the trauma-coaster of “Bad Vegan” has slowed, we thought it important to let Sarma set the record straight.    Check it out. NOTES:Sarma Melngailis is brilliant. She grew up in Newton, MA, graduated with two economics degrees including one from the Wharton School. She rocked the financial world at Bear Stearns and Bain Capital. And she dabbled in high-yield investment funds before realizing finance in late-stage capitalism fuckin sucks so she left to get a degree in feeding people from the French Culinary Institute. Thus began her life in the world of food. Upon discovering raw vegan food, she decided – with a partner – to open Pure Food and Wine; chronicled her transition from eating whatever/everything to eating only raw vegan food in Raw Food Real World; and then wrote Living Raw Food. Now, she lives in Harlem with her rescue dog, Leon. We love ‘em both dearly. You can find Sarma on Twitter, Instagram, and her own official website.
