Locally sourced, organic, clean, allergy friendly, naturally gluten free – Feel Good Food. The Piazzas attended the Health Supportive Culinary Arts program at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan. Aditionally, Nicole has been a holistic registered dietitian for almost twenty years. Together, Anthony and Nicole are raising their two daughters, Zinnia and Talulla.

The creation of Feel Good Food at Home during the pandemic brought awareness to the ongoing food crisis in America and the lack of access to healthy food.
