What was it that got you interested in cooking? I’ve always enjoyed cooking but when I made the transition into a plant-based lifestyle I suddenly became obsessed with cooking. I wanted to create, actually, I wanted to re-create nostalgic foods but then also put new spins on old classics and dress them up to prove to people that vegan food was far from boring and bland. Most importantly, I wanted to excite people about plant-based food and diminish myths about plant-based cooking being difficult. I wanted to create food to show people just how easy it all can be and that sacrifice was not required to step up and be the change we want to see in the world, even If it’s just by changing what we do one bite at a time.
