About

My Mission

I believe in the concept that food is medicine. Food can do much more than just nourish our bodies: we can use it to support our mental health, get in touch with our cultures, and create shared experiences that spark a sense of community and connection. It is my vision that we can live in a world where we have healthy relationships with our food and the cultures and environment it comes from. 

I focus on the following three things to achieve this vision:

1. Harnessing the power of visual storytelling to support organizations and businesses who are making a difference

2. Passing on traditional food knowledge by sharing healthy, plant-based recipes and the stories behind them

3. Creating a space for people to learn about the challenges our food systems are facing and what can be done about it

The Person Behind The Scenes

Hi there! I’m the one-woman show behind Marigolds & Mint… I started blogging in 2017 as a way to share my experiments in the kitchen and practice my food photography. Now, I hope to grow it into a platform that inspires change in the way we cook, eat, and source our food. I’m inspired by my work with non-profits and food security, days in the garden, and my food experiences while growing up in a Polish-American household.
