“Health is normal. The human body is a self-repairing, self-defending, self-healing marvel. Disease is relatively difficult to induce, considering the body's powerful immune system. However, this complicated and delicate machinery can be damaged if fed the wrong fuel during the formative years. ... Healthy living with nutritional excellence throughout life can slow the decline of aging. It can prevent the years and years of suffering in ill health that is so common today as people get older and become dependent on medical treatments, drugs, and surgery. Nutritional excellence is the only real fountain of youth.”
― Joel Fuhrman, Disease-Proof Your Child: Feeding Kids Right

There’s so much you can do with handmade lentil meatballs, especially when they’re cooked in the air fryer. With no oil, you can enjoy big flavor without any guilt (or any health worries).

In a moment when injustice, inequality, and division weigh heavily on our nation, we are reminded that the words and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. remain as urgent as ever.

We invite you to join us for a Martin Luther King Jr. event dedicated to reflection, remembrance, and recommitment—to justice, dignity, and love for all people. Together, we will honor Dr. King’s legacy and explore how his vision calls us to respond to the challenges of our time.

Now is not only a time to remember history, but to shape the future. Join us for the MLK National Holiday in NYC!! Monday will be our 4th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday at our neighborhood walks in Bed Stuy, Harlem, Jamaica, and Riverdale.

Congratulations my HCZ colleague and friend ! I remember like it was yesterday. We were on the steps at the Madison Ave exit and I had just found out you had resigned. You were so impassioned I could hardly speak. You were not having it because you knew what had to be done and what you weren’t going to do. And we’re all better for it! I can’t wait to bring Ghana into my Harlem kitchen with your new book.

Thank you for making my friend’s special day spectacular! 🤯 Chef the welcoming atmosphere was so relaxing and the global flavors took us around the globe - the Take-Out Mushrooms 🍄 were a mix of “takeout” and “cookout.” Can’t wait to do it again. Oh, and shoutouts to Jake and Darnell for holding down the floor with a lot of love and top-line hospitality.
