About hellaD
Food is the basis for everything, it is a catalyst for communication across cultures and species.
Renee Hella...I grew up in a village Papua New Guinea, went to high school in Penang, Malaysia, studied Anthropology in California and Culinary Arts in Hyde Park, NY, cooked in Burma and in New Zealand among other places...my love of food, travel and culture just keeps growing.
Passionate about learning
whatever I can about traditional food and medicine and desire to make
sure that we retain our ancestoral knowledge of good things to eat and
interesting ways to prepare them for the health of ourselves and our
Earth.
