Julie Van Ossel is a journalist and entrepreneur, founder of La Recette, a podcast and company that showcases initiatives for sustainable food.

After 15 years in journalism, particularly in television, Julie Van Ossel became aware of the consequences of our food system on health, the environment, and society. However, her reports also allowed her to discover actors who are experimenting with different ways to produce and consume food. "I discovered many initiatives that deeply impacted me because they show that it is possible to do things differently, to produce differently, to eat differently. And we don't talk about it enough," she explains.

For the past three years, her podcast has given a voice to chefs, producers, artisans, and associations. La Recette also offers cooking workshops, tasting walks, and immersions with producers to concretely discover solutions. "Our fork gives us a superpower, the ability to change the world through what we eat," summarizes Julie Van Ossel.

Beyond raising awareness, these experiences aim to recreate connections and pass on know-how. Food then becomes a means of action, but also a way to meet and share. A transition that involves both discovery and pleasure.
