Welcome to Pure Alchemy, where simple, whole ingredients become something truly extraordinary. In this first episode, we'll kick off the season with an incredibly easy recipe for making clean mayonnaise. And it takes only 5 minutes! We'll discuss why whole food matters, how to avoid toxic ingredients and how to start making some alchemy in your own kitchen.

My sincere hope is this show provides ideas to someone out there who is starting to dabble in cooking or inspires the person who wants to explore whole food cooking.

Real food. Real nourishment. Pure alchemy.
