National Nutrition Month is an annual campaign created by The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that is celebrated during March. This year’s theme is to celebrate a world of flavors, embracing global cultures, cuisines, and inclusivity. Food is an important part of culture and can provide a connection to a person’s family or country. Food also feeds the soul.

Unable to gather around the dinner table with her mother, Nancy, she began texting for pointers on how to make the familiar dishes she missed. “By the third recipe, she asked, ‘Are you writing these down?’” recalls Leung, who went to cooking school and worked in restaurants […]
