Passionate about culture as a key vehicle for holistic wellness, Dr. Jeannie Celestial is one of the best-selling authors of The Filipino Instant Pot Cookbook. Her maternal and paternal lineages have both been strongly connected to the land and sea and growing their own food. With over 40,000 copies sold and nearly 100,000 members in the Filipino Instant Pot Recipe Community, Dr. Celestial and her co-authors bridge people to the signature flavors and diverse culture and history of the Philippines. With the success of The Filipino Instant Pot Cookbook, Dr. Celestial discovered that talking about food opened up conversations about physical and emotional health. Foodways–how we prepare, cook, and pass on traditions–can spark mental wellness conversations, foster cultural pride, and strengthen family relationships.
