No more mushy peas. Why culturally competent meals might just save a life.

It’s time for the health system to pay for better food. It’s not just good care; it’s good business.

Joi Chevalier founded The Cook’s Nook in the Eastern Crescent of Austin, where the majority of Black and Brown families that live there often lack access to fresh, high-quality meals.
The Cook’s Nook produces thousands of meals a week, just like this one, in its East Austin production facility.
