Each entry gives a straightforward verdict, practical takeaways, and a chef-tested recipe so you can separate hype from helpful information. All content is reviewed by our registered dietitians and grounded in current scientific evidence, so you can trust the guidance.
This month: Seed Oils. Our dietitians break down the latest claims, explain what the research actually says, and offer simple tips you can use in the café and at home. Read this month’s Factchecked post.
Nicole Feneli, RD, CSSD, Director of Wellness
Nicole utilizes her extensive knowledge of nutrition and her love for the culinary arts to develop programs which position wellness center stage for you.
After receiving her AS Culinary Arts degree from Johnson & Wales University, she went on to earn her BS in Culinary Nutrition.
Nicole was inspired by her experience of helping others as Director of Food and Nutrition for the Iris House, a New York-based organization for women and families living with HIV/AIDS. She also led the sourcing of healthy food and recipe development for The Pump Energy Food, a NYC based restaurant chain before joining FLIK in 2010.
Global Food Pantry is FLIK’s new monthly series that explores pantry staples, flavors, and culinary traditions from around the world. Instead of spotlighting one dish, we highlight everyday ingredients and pair them with chef-tested recipes and practical shopping tips so you can bring these global pantry ideas into your kitchen.
This month: Foods of Peru. The health benefits of Peruvian cuisine come from traditional dishes rich in plant-based ingredients, whole grains like quinoa, lean animal proteins, and seafood — all prepared using balanced cooking methods. Don’t forget to check this month’s recipe packet for ways to bring Foods of Peru into your home kitchen.
Savvy Shopper. Our new Savvy Shopper is a short, practical guide that helps you shop for and store pantry staples like a pro. Explore the Savvy Shopper guide.
