About Judith Sharlin

Judith Sharlin

I am a writer and full-time nutrition professor at Palm Beach State College in Boca Raton, Florida. I received my MFA in creative writing from the Newport MFA at Salve Regina University, earned a PhD in nutrition from Tufts University and am a registered dietitian. I’ve published personal essays in Meat for Tea and Halfway Down the Stairs. I have an essay forthcoming in the Boston Globe. I am also the author of a cookbook and nutrition guide, The Romantic Vegetarian, which won an American Health Book Award. I’m working on a memoir about a woman’s journey to overcome the challenges of grief surrounding the deaths of her husband and son through baking and cooking.
