Speaker
Judy Barbe's interest in food started early. She realized later that her enthusiasm was unique: most 10-year-olds don't pore over the Betty Crocker Cookbook for a slumber party menu... she served ice cream-stuffed cantaloupe. With a master's degree in food science and human nutrition, she has been exploring food ever since. She has authored multiple books and shows people how to make delicious, better-for-you choices through original recipes, speaking engagements, newspaper columns, and online cooking classes.
Judy is a past chair of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Food and Culinary Professionals Dietetic Practice Group, past president of the Wyoming Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and current delegate to the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics House of Delegates. She's visited more than 35 countries and is planning a trip around the world. Judy led tours to Italy where she taught people the art of ordering and eating gelato.
