Biography

William Lendway spent years advancing in culinary arts before pursuing an additional degree in nutrition.

His research interests include whole grains, the culinary creative process, and how to incorporate new (to us) foods into our diets. He continues to work with local community nutrition projects in both Minnesota and Rhode Island. He also owns and operates a mobile food establishment during the summers in Rhode Island.
