Liz Rueven
Liz Rueven is the founder of Kosher Like Me, where Jewish tradition meets the fresh flavors of local, seasonal produce. When she's not caressing fruits and veggies at her local farmers’ market you’ll likely find her chatting with like-minded eaters, probing the scene in NYC or seeking inspiration in her spice cabinet. Life outside of her blog is all about her family, tasty travel adventures and power walks deep in the Connecticut woods or along the shore.
