Food is a commodity, but also a crucial component of lifestyle and culture. Today a plethora of information makes it difficult to really know what is healthy eating in an area constantly revolutionized by new discoveries and mixed messages.

 Please join us for an evening of inspiring conversation on the state of healthy eating in Los Angeles, accompanied by great food…. Italian style!


Health. Food. Wine. Trendsetters.
