INTRODUCTION TO EPISODE #2

In this episode we talk to biologist and chef Alysha Melnyk.

Alysha has combined her background in biology with her passion for making food delicious, eye-catching, and accessible

She is the Founder and Content Creator for The Kitchenologist©, a blog that is dedicated to healthy eating and experimenting in the kitchen.

In addition to creating content for her blog, Alysha is the Recipe Creator for Taproot Farm, an organic farm in Berks County, Pennsylvania.

When she's not cooking in the kitchen or dreaming up a recipe, she works full time as an Implementation Specialist at an international medical nonprofit called ECRI, which is located in suburban Philadelphia and is dedicated to improving patient safety worldwide.

Alysha finds her many career passions revolve around the power of knowledge and that equipping people with the right tools and resources can help them make better informed decisions.

In this episode, we talk to Alysha about how she got into cooking, and then talk about a few recipes of hers that are low in oxalate. Enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think!
