Lia is a guiding light to home cooks everywhere, who speaks not just to the “how-to,” but to the deeper “why.” After 20 years as a professional recipe developer for major magazines and a busy working Mom and entrepreneur, Lia has made a career of teaching people how to make real food possible in real life.
But Lia is about more than just “how to.” As the author of NOURISHED: A Memoir of Food, Faith and Enduring Love (with recipes), she speaks to how real food is a connection point that helps us relate to one another, understand ourselves, and show up more fully in the world.
Lia is not a celebrity chef flaunting glitz and glamour, nor is she a white-coated nutrition expert promising the next new silver bullet. She is a thoughtful, real voice amidst the mayhem of shiny objects, who people are drawn to for her candor and approachability. People who encounter Lia — in the media, in her online community and courses, or in-person — feel lifted up and encouraged, walking away feeling “I can do that too.”

NOURISHED DETAILS
“Hunger comes to us in many forms,” says Lia Huber, whose search for sustenance takes readers from the Greek island of Corfu (where she learns the joy of simple foods and the power of unconditional love) to a Costa Rican jungle house (by way of a life-changing 8,000 mile road trip) and finally to the bucolic hills of California’s wine country, where she steps into the person she’s meant to be and discovers her calling to nourish others. Along the way, Huber treats us to scrumptious meals while sharing the emotions and self-exploration that define true love and deep faith.
