Recipe for Health is a program that holds fast to the belief that food is medicine. Created by MLK Community Healthcare, Recipe for Health serves patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, offering them an opportunity to learn healthy cooking and eating habits, receive fresh fruits and vegetables weekly, and attend exercise and nutrition classes.

In this feature, we join a cooking class, meet patients and the inspiring MLKCH Executive Chef Lorne Alexander, and discover how this program is nourishing the health and lives of our South LA community.
