HERE’S THE SCOOP…
YOU NEED TO FOLLOW WELL AND FULL ON INSTAGRAM
If you want to see and potentially mimic the most gorgeous and healthful meals, you need to follow Well and Full on the Insta! Bolton-native, Sarah Hryniewicz (née Aldrich) started this passion project ten years ago because of her true and deep love for food, which was cultivated by her godmother, Fatima, who is Portuguese and encouraged her to order small plates and try everything. Although it's evolved over the years, her Insta now mainly focuses on plant-based foods with non-veggie accents. She has a fascinating background, including a stint in France and later a meeting with one of her idols, Jacques Pepin (she drank champagne with him!) at Stone Acres Farm in Connecticut. She was a finalist for PETA's 'Sexiest Vegan Next Door' contest, has been featured in BuzzFeed, Good Housekeeping, and more, and has received 5-6 offers from cookbook publishers. But, honestly, Sarah's journey to now has not been easy. She was forced to leave two different jobs after being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and an autoimmune condition that causes severe pain in her joints. She is doing better and trying to showcase health through food. We did a deep dive on her Instagram and it is truly SO. MUCH. FUN. TO. WATCH. Follow her for lots of amazing recipes, fun dinner party videos (including cocktails and dessert), and helpful food tips! We promise you will learn something you didn't know.
