Registered Dietitian and Television Host
About Ellie Krieger
In 2003, Ellie Krieger transformed how Americans think about healthy eating, not by prescribing restriction, but by redefining pleasure on the plate. As host of PBS’s 'Healthy Appetite', she filmed over 100 episodes from her own Washington, D.C. kitchen, demonstrating that nutrition science and culinary joy aren’t opposites but partners. Her 2007 cookbook 'So Easy' became a quiet revolution: no calorie counts, no elimination diets, just seasonal ingredients, smart substitutions (like roasted sweet potato instead of fries), and techniques that preserved flavor without compromising fiber or micronutrients. She advised the USDA’s MyPlate initiative not as a policy consultant behind closed doors, but as a translator, turning dietary guidelines into tangible, repeatable meals for real families juggling work, kids, and grocery budgets. Her voice stands apart in contemporary food culture for its calm authority, its refusal to moralize food, and its insistence that health is built meal by meal, not through perfection, but through consistency, curiosity, and taste.
