About the Author

Cristin Kearns Couzens is a ‘non-practicing’ dentist who doesn't know much about vegetables and isn't ashamed to admit it. Wanting to eat healthier, yet overwhelmed by produce she'd never heard of at farmers' markets, Cristin began weekly forays into the often intimidating world of veggies. She hopes this blog will inspire fellow vegetable ignorami to give veggies a second look. She lives in Denver, CO and you can contact her at ckcouzens@gmail.com
