Born in 1928, Nan grew up on the Connecticut shoreline, where the salty sea air and small town charm forged her lifelong coastal spirit. A child of the Great Depression, Nan learned the fundamentals of resourceful cooking from her mother, who showed her how to create exciting meals from what grew in their garden. Eventually, Nan would hone her skills to recreate dishes from her travels around the world. It didn’t take long for Nan to become known for her healthy salad dressings, always made with premium olive oil. Today, Nan’s Original Recipes captures the essence of the beloved mother and grandmother: Good, wholesome food that inspires an enriched wholesome life. Family-founded and made in small batches with premium organic ingredients, her healthy creations are versatile and shelf-stable. Corinne Cartwright joins Justin to unpack this growing food brand!
