Summary: Get to Know cookbook author, blogger and certified holistic chef Laura Lea of LL Balanced. Laura Lea is the recipe developer and writer behind the blog LL Balanced. She’s an English Lit grad from the University of Virginia who started out pursuing a NYC career in law but quickly realized this life wasn’t for her. She found herself listless and enormously anxious, slogging away at a corporate job that she didn’t enjoy. She decided to focus on pursuing a healthier lifestyle by saying goodbye to the late nights of drinking and staying in to rediscover the joy of cooking nourishing and healthy meals for herself. Over time, the emotional and physical health improvements could not be ignored. With a newfound passion for food and it’s relationship to healing, she decided to switch up her career direction and attend the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC. Laura hasn’t looked back since. She moved back to her hometown of Nashville, TN with a heart and mind determined to spread the world of holistic health. Her goal is to offer healthier versions of Southern classics and introduce new ideas about food, so that we can have our caramel cake and eat it too.
