Lia Huber’s first book NOURISHED: A Memoir of Food, Faith and Enduring Love (with recipes) recounts the world-roaming search for sustenance that healed her body, shaped her faith, and defined her life’s calling. It was named a Buzzfeed book of the year, and called “[A] charming foodie’s travel memoir…” by the New York Times.

Huber is also the founder and CEO of NOURISH Evolution (nourishevolution.com), for which she was named Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012 by the International Association of Culinary Professionals, and Cook the Seasons (cooktheseasons.com), a subscription-based real food community and online menu planner.

Over the last 20 years, Huber has been widely-published as a writer and recipe developer for Cooking Light, Better Homes & Gardens, Eating Well, Prevention, and more. She also teaches and speaks at spas, churches, and corporations on real food, deliberate living, and purposeful pursuit. Lia appears frequently on television, including ABC-TV in San Francisco and LiveWell Network.

Lia has an MBA from the University of Florida, a BA in Communications with a minor in French from Tulane University, and has studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and the Culinary Institute of America Greystone in Napa Valley. She has also served on the board of Slow Food Sonoma County and as the Chair of the Food Writers, Editors and Publishers section of the International Association of Culinary Professionals.

She lived in New York, New Orleans, Paris, Greece, Costa Rica and San Francisco before putting down roots in California’s wine country with her family.
