My Healthy Morning: Marissa Ross — My Healthy Morning

Welcome to Kitchn's series My Healthy Morning, where we show you how one person greets the day in a way that makes them feel their best. Each post will chronicle how that person defines healthy for themselves, and the habits and recipes that make their morning a little bit better.

I first heard of Marissa Ross through social media, as is now custom. Bon Appétit, where Ross has a wine column, probably featured her on their Instagram account and I went down a rabbit hole. (Side note: Is it bad to admit you're a creep? Probably!).

Ross is funny. Like, really funny. She makes talking about wine interesting, which is a very hard thing to do. Most wine writing is boring and esoteric; it alienates people. But Ross is different. Maybe it's the many photos of her drinking wine straight from the bottle, or the cover of her recently published book where she's lounging in a chair with wine bottles strewn across the floor. Whatever it is, I'm buying it.

And even though she is a self-proclaimed hedonist, she values taking care of her mental and physical health, which sometimes means less wine and more vegetables. We visited Ross at her home in Los Angeles and got a glimpse into her healthy morning routine.
