Helene Leeds was mentioned in today’s Baltimore Sun:
A former plus-size model, Leeds admits that competing on Master Chef wasn’t a burning ambition. “But I am incredibly passionate about the ability of food to transform lives,” she said. “My mother died of obesity and I was an obese child,” said Leeds, who hopes to expose a larger audience to the lessons she’s learned about healthy eating.
