Food Is a Fundamental Connector

Jenny Breen, MPH M Ed. is a Twin Cities Chef and Culinary Nutrition Educator working at the intersection of human, community and planetary health.

Cooking for Me Is an Art

Cooking and teaching are my art form. I take inspiration from life experiences, my ancestors, places I’ve been, and people I’ve learned from; and translate those into a meal that connects us to joy, place, health and community.

Food as a Tool for Justice and Wellbeing

People and the land are inextricably connected, and food is the most fundamental link in that relationship.

I work to develop approaches to cooking that consider not only the food itself, but regeneration of the land, body and soul as fundamental human rights. I try to give people the tools, skills and resources to use food to promote health and wholeness, and to change the system, together, to create equitable access to nourishment for our system, our communities and ourselves.
