About

I love animals and the planet, and my lifestyle choices are a reflection of that love. I’m a passionate vegan chef who makes delicious, satisfying food. A long-time animal activist, I have been vegan for 20 years and love to cook all different kinds of entrees, appetizers, and desserts. My favorite thing is teaching others how delicious and easy a plant-based lifestyle can be.
