In Mariel’s Kitchen, you stress the importance of local seasonal eating. What do you consider an ideal meal?


It’s important to connect nature with food—knowing where foods come from, knowing about local farms and farmers’ markets. My perfect meal is something that is very simple, fresh and seasonal. The key is to use the right ingredients, a little olive oil and herbs. One of my favorites is searing fish so that it is raw on the inside and serving it

You are a big advocate of organic food, which can be pricey for families on tight budgets. How can healthy eating be accessible to all?


It’s about choices. When people want to eat healthier and believe organic is too expensive, I ask them to consider how many times they buy café coffee or order out. When you start to look at food and how you live your life as a method of preventive medicine, it becomes obvious that getting sick [due to poor nutrition and a weak immune system] is a lot more expensive.


How did you come up with the con- cept for your health snack, Blisscuits?


My mother had cancer when I was a child, and I was her primary caregiver, so I saw what chemotherapy and radia- tion did to her. When my ex-husband was diagnosed with cancer, I created the cookies as part of a healthy, holistic lifestyle that could help heal him. They are gluten- and sugar-free and health- ful. He is now 11 years in remission and well because he made many good choices. Another reason I developed Blisscuits was to feed my daughters as they were growing up in a world of unhealthy snacks.
