Edith Carter, founder of The House of Culinary Inventions, is known for her animated, inspiring teaching and back-to-healthy-basics philosophy. Her classes have gained the recognition of naturopaths, physicians and other health practitioners who entrust and refer their clients to her School of Nutritional Cooking.
