What a pleasure to speak with Elena. Not just because she espouses eating fresh and natural foods. And not because she believes in food as being the life force that makes us ready to meet each day healthily and more vibrant, which she does. It’s because she has a fresh and unregimented way of pointing people towards how to eat without so many dos’ and don'ts successfully for life. That’s fresh.
