James Beard Award winner Tamar Haspel writes deeply researched science-based monthly commentary for the Washington Post in pursuit of a more constructive conversation on divisive food-policy issues. Select columns appear exclusively in the Washington Post and on our site!
She also co-hosts, with journalist Mike Grunwald, the Climavores podcast, which takes a good, hard, entertaining look at food’s impact on the climate and the environment.
Her book “To Boldly Grow: Finding Joy, Adventure, and Dinner in Your Own Backyard” is about the good things that happen when you roll up your sleeves, go outside, and get dirty in service of dinner. Getting food first-hand — gardening, fishing, foraging, hunting — can make your dinner better, but its real power is that it can make you better. It’s the secret to successful self-improvement, in a book reviewers are calling “hilarious” and “delightful.” She is also an oyster farmer on Cape Cod.
