I’ve spoken at The James Beard Foundation conference, FoodTank summits, SXSW, and the National Academy of Sciences, as well as universities (Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Tufts’ Friedman School, University of Minnesota) and professional groups (Institute of Food Technologists, American Society for Nutrition). I’ve spoken in Kenya, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada. I hate the part where I have to tell you I’m a dynamic, engaging speaker, and I routinely get top marks from audiences, but I would be remiss if I didn’t. If you want to talk to me about an upcoming event, let’s talk; drop me a line at tamarhaspel@gmail.com. I guarantee I’ll make your audience laugh at least once. (In the interest of transparency, I list all my speaking engagements and my conflict-of-interest policy. You can can find all that here.) https://www.tamarhaspel.com/book daily 0.75 2022-01-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b116b6d9aea06e93ded9cb/1638995644249-F569LOLMM4L6DX8B75WI/Screenshot+2021-11-16+12.18.39+PM.png Book The word on TO BOLDLY GROW: “Part memoir, part how-to guide, and wholly delightful.” — Washington Post “A journalist who ‘grew up in a food-focused household’ chronicles her adventures gardening and eating in Cape Cod…With witty insight, the author shares their successes and failures along with tips and how-to advice…[A] great stepping-off point for individuals interested in exploring ‘first-hand food opportunities’ and exercising more control over the origins of what they eat. Knowledgeable inspiration for getting out there and getting dirty.” —Kirkus Reviews “Amusing… [with] a colloquial, curious tone reminiscent of the work of Mary Roach…The bright prose and clever insight make this a pleasure to dig into." —Publishers Weekly “What do you get when one of the smartest journalists on food and nutrition decamps her New York City apartment for a plot of sand in Cape Cod? This fabulous, instructive and hilarious tale of the ‘first-hand food’ that she learned to plant, hook, raise, and kill. This book should be read by everyone who has worked to defeat a processed-food habit by cooking from scratch and now dreams of taking the next step: scratching up dinner from the land and sea.”—Michael Moss, author of Salt Sugar Fat and Hooked https://www.tamarhaspel.com/about daily 0.75 2023-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b116b6d9aea06e93ded9cb/1638995642009-WDDN89WPWG64YVWMK8PY/jacketsmall.jpg About Tamar Haspel writes the James Beard Award-winning Washington Post column Unearthed, which looks at how our diet affects us and our planet. She’s also written for Discover, Vox, Slate, Fortune, Eater, and Edible Cape Cod. Her book, TO BOLDLY GROW, 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.” https://www.tamarhaspel.com/writing daily 0.75 2022-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b116b6d9aea06e93ded9cb/f77cb8fe-739c-40a2-ad32-6645cc1989bf/Screenshot+2021-12-28+4.09.45+PM.png Writing Here’s what the government’s dietary guidelines should really say Ever wonder why diet advice keeps changing, and what you should really eat?
