Shiny Healthy You

Meet Linda Ellis (aka Lunch Lady Lou) – she is singlehandedly attempting to change the way that office workers do lunch in Sydney. Although she grew up in a household that cooked meals from scratch, she didn’t develop an interest in food until much later. After a stint working in a busy office, she discovered her new tag “The Healthy Salad Maker” and the rest just grew from there. Having left the busy corporate world behind, she now delivers healthy lunches throughout the Sydney CBD, to a cult following of hungry workers. But like any of my Shiny Healthy You guests, there’s more to this story than just a yarn about healthy food. Listen to Lou as she chats about her run in with cancer, and the change in her mindset that ensued (and the weird and wonderful speed bumps along the way!). Listen to her recount how she drew on her overseas trips for food inspiration, and the shift in perspective that came from comparing other food cultures to our own. If you love to “nerd out” on food, hit play, sit back and enjoy!
