Ladle of Love dishes out healthy, delicious meals

News 12’s Samantha Crawford is in the Alert Center profiling women
who are making a difference in the Hudson Valley.

First
as a journalist, and now as a cook – Leslie
Lampert has always been a woman who loves to serve.

Lampert is the founder of
Ladle of Love.  They
have multiple locations in the area and all focused on creating healthy,
delicious meals from local farms for people in need, local organizations like
the Mount Kisco Boys and Girls club, and those who just want to watch what they
eat.

She opened shop 18 years
ago, making Ladle of Love the first locally sourced takeout option nearby.

It may be hard to switch
careers but her advice is to go for it.  “That’s a lesson I want to tell a lot of
people. For anyone who is contemplating starting a business, whether in the
food business or something else, if it matters to you, it is going to matter to
somebody else,” advises Lampert.
