About the Author

introduction

From enjoying a cozy mug of spiced apple cider next to the fireplace on a chilly fall afternoon to snacking on fresh watermelon that’s bursting with color and flavor at the park on a hot summer day, each of the four seasons has its own quintessential moments that are inevitably tied to food. Food brings the family together, through small moments like a quick breakfast before school at which we chat about the day ahead, as well as huge holiday celebrations for which we happily travel far and wide to visit family and feast on dishes that we look forward to all year.

Whether we’re conscious of it or not, what, when, and how we eat affects us on a much larger scale than just keeping hunger at bay. The act of cooking and eating with our family can nourish us on many levels, and each season provides a unique opportunity for us to fill our plates with a rainbow of healthful food that provides exactly what our bodies need at that time.

MY FAMILY

I grew up in South Florida, where there are two seasons: hot and hotter. My family would happily sweat in the humidity outside, then keep the air-conditioning pumping at full blast inside our house to cool us off. For us, the changing seasons had little to do with food and were instead marked by the school year starting or ending, or long breaks from school when it was slightly less hot outside and we got lots of presents.

Year-round, our meals came mainly from frozen packages, boxes, plastic bags, and restaurants. There were a few foods that were special to us as seasonal delicacies, all of which could eventually be found at the drugstore marked at 50 percent off: Oreos stuffed with orange filling in the fall, powdered packets of hot chocolate in the winter, cream-filled chocolate eggs in the spring, and neon green, blue, and pink popsicles in the summer.

As far as I knew, the same food was always available at the grocery store, and my family ate the same meals no matter what time of year it was. This was during the ’90s, before the internet brought mainstream America’s attention to the culinary world’s growing evolution toward seasonal, local, and organic produce—not to mention the idea of a plant-based diet. We weren’t yet scared of the unpronounceable ingredients on the back of our cereal box; in fact, if it tasted good, we didn’t even glance at the ingredients. My mom was our family’s cook, and she tried to make us healthy food, but life was busy and finding the time to try out healthful recipes that we would actually eat was easier said than done, so the convenience of Hamburger Helper, frozen fish sticks, and other quick-to-prepare processed foods always ultimately won out.

At the time, there were no local farmer’s markets in our town (today there’s one for every day of the week!), and my family had no idea that the area of South Florida we lived in is an ideal climate for growing tons of varieties of fruits and vegetables at different seasons throughout the year. We did have a key lime tree in our backyard, and when the little green fruits would show up, it truly felt like magic. They just appeared out of nowhere and we were able to use them—for free!—to make key lime pie. I didn’t know a single family with a home garden (and had never even visited a farm on a field trip), so the idea of something we could eat that grew in the ground right outside our house completely blew my mind.

Even though the concept of edible plants growing in the ground was slightly over my head, from an early age I did understand the connection between animals and the meat on my plate, and the idea never felt right to me. I went through many on-again, off-again bouts of vegetarianism, but even during my meatless periods I tried my best to steer clear of most vegetables, relying on classic kid foods like grilled cheese and peanut butter sandwiches to sustain myself. I just wasn’t interested in fruits or vegetables, and my parents never gave me a convincing enough reason (or dish) for why I should be.

When I was a freshman in college, my vegetarianism finally stuck, but my diet still consisted mainly of processed foods like microwavable frozen veggie burgers and French fries smothered in cheese from the school cafeteria. After a few years of eating this way, I stumbled across the macrobiotic diet—which focuses on whole grains, legumes, and cooked vegetables and omits processed foods, sugar, and dairy—as part of my search to cure my endless allergies and stomach issues. I was tired of feeling sick every day, despite being on multiple prescription medications, and I was desperate enough to try just about anything, so I dove headfirst into eating this way—and it worked! I found that skipping the junk and fueling my body with plants made me feel better than any doctor’s regimen or medicine I had ever tried. It wasn’t easy to adjust to such a big lifestyle change, but I was surprised to discover that I liked exploring this new world of ingredients, and cooking turned out to be a fun and creative outlet for me.

Now that I had experienced how good real food could make me feel, I focused on learning about all things plant based. The more I learned about the environmental sustainability problems and animal welfare issues facing the egg and dairy industries, the more eating an egg and cheese sandwich felt the same to me as eating a hamburger. I was thrilled to discover that with a little effort I could find or create a recipe for a vegan version of just about anything that was just as tasty as—if not tastier than—its traditional counterpart.

I loved learning about different dietary theories from other parts of the world. I noticed a common thread throughout these diverse cultures—an emphasis on eating different foods at different times of the year and letting Mother Nature tell us what to eat and when to eat it. This made sense to me on so many different levels, from desires as obvious as our craving for cold smoothies in the summer to cool us down, to needs as complex as our appetite for root vegetables to help us feel grounded in the fall.

My biggest takeaway from macrobiotics, Ayurveda, ancient Chinese medicine, and other dietary approaches was that nature provides the food that our bodies need to thrive each season, and that’s awesome! Even though modern technology makes nearly all foods available at all times, it feels good to stay in tune with the seasons through food. Produce picked at its peak season always
