| I wear many hats but they're all
related to great food that includes vegetables and
other plant based cuisine. I'm a vegetable and plant-food
cooking expert, in vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free
eating. Don't worry about me turning you into a
vegetarian; you have to do that on your own time.
I just want to help you get more vegetables and
plant foods into your diet, no matter what other
foods you choose to eat. |
