If you love to cook, you’ve probably asked yourself: Could this actually be a career?

In honor of NGI's 40th anniversary, the school dug into its archives to find some standout articles written by Natural Gourmet Institute founder, Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D. This series celebrates her teachings on food, science and nutrition, which are now more prominent than ever in the better food movement. Annemarie was a true visionary: inquisitive, intuitive, relentless, progressive and thoughtful. In the late 1970s, she recovered important facts about food that humanity seems to have misplaced – namely, that what we eat directly impacts our well-being, our communities and our planet. The Natural Gourmet Institute is now Health-Supportive Culinary Arts at the Institute of Culinary Education.
