Real Food Revolution: Make Jamie Oliver’s Wild Mushroom Risotto

We love leafy things, but healthy eating is about way more than salads. Worldclass chef and former TCM Guest Editor, Jamie Oliver, is on a mission to revolutionize the way we eat by advocating for real food, made with real ingredients - and we're 100% on board, especially if it means getting cozy with this mushroom risotto. The recipe is part of a new box by L.A.'s fave farm-to-doorstep delivery service, Out of the Box Collective. Inspired by Jamie's Food Revolution, this collab is gaurenteed to get you cooking up a storm in your own kitchen...

“...taking back control of cooking may be the single most important step anyone can take to help make the American food system healthier and more sustainable. Reclaiming cooking as an act of enjoyment and self-reliance, learning to perform the magic of these everyday transformations, opens the door to a more nourishing life.” - Michael Pollan

In a world where it’s getting easier and easier by the day to have a Taco Bell meal or a GrubHub prepared dinner dropped on your doorstep at the click of an app, let’s remember how important it is to take the time to cook for ourselves. With home cooking, we can reinforce great eating habits and stay away from junk food choices that keep us hooked on poor nutrition, food addiction and bodies we dislike. We can do it! This year we can all start by taking baby steps. A box of locally-sourced, organic fruit or vegetables and other ingredients can go a long way to your own personal transformation.

Many of us understand the value of going to the gym, but what we put into our bodies is just as important as how we use our bodies. And above all, modeling healthy eating habits will pass on the value of a healthy lifestyle to our children. That’s why we’re starting our new year by tuning in to UK chef Jamie Oliver, whose mission is to provoke debate and inspire real, meaningful, positive change in the way our children access, consume and understand food.

In this political climate, with the upcoming inauguration, let’s remember that our choices support our values and the beliefs we hold about freedom, the local economy and a sustainable future. Above all, we value our health and we want to protect and support the farmers who are protecting the Earth. How we interact with corporate America and the decisions that fill our kitchen cupboards will shape our new year, the world we live in and the foods that feed our hearts and minds.
