For Alissa Bilfield and Adam Aronovitz, a young husband and wife team, using healthy and sustainable food as a medium to bring people together is their mantra.

Their passion for travel, food and volunteer work has taken them across the globe, leading them to create The Cookbook Project, a non-profit venture based in West Roxbury which organizes workshops regionally and abroad aimed at educating young people about healthy cooking and nutrition.

"There is a domestic and international need to understand the connection between health, food and the environment," said Bilfield. "Groups of young people who participate in our workshops learn about local healthy ingredients and about food sustainability."

The duo partners with community organizations to conduct specialized workshops that provide participants with hands-on experience. These 'enrichment projects," as the couple calls them, typically run from three to five days. Activities such as cooking healthy meals with local ingredients are encouraged. From putting together a simple salad on Day 1, to preparing full course meals on the final day, the workshops are designed to teach participants to make healthy choices and to show how locally grown foods are more sustainable than their imported counterparts.
