JULIE LORIA is the author of Diamond Dishes- From the Kitchens of Baseball's Biggest Stars (Lyons Press, 2011), an official Major League Baseball publication in which she showcased stories and recipes from twenty top players, including Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols, and Alex Rodriguez. Born and raised a baseball fan with a passion for food and cooking, her former career as a marketing and advertising executive in Boston gave way to watching baseball games and immersing herself in cooking courses in her spare time. While living in Europe she honed her culinary interests at the French cooking school La Cuisine de Marie-Blanche. ALLEN CAMPBELL started embracing health and wellness and adopted a primarily plant-based diet in 2009 after working as a chef in high-end hotels for years, which soon redirected his professional trajectory. In 2013, he took a position as personal chef for New England Patriots' star quarterback Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bundchen. Campbell now holds a certificate in plant-based nutrition from Cornell's Center for Nutrition Studies and undertook a study of the ancient food philosophies embraced by Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, and shares his message about health and wellness in speaking engagements, workshops, and other programs.
