Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How did you get to be The
Veggie Queen??
A. I was given the title
at the introduction to a cooking class that I was teaching
at Ramekins cooking school in Sonoma. I liked it, so I kept
it and decided that it was easier to use, remember and spell
than The Vegetarian Connection which is the umbrella organization
for my business.
Q. What makes you qualified
to counsel people about vegetables, vegetarian and vegan eating?
A. I have been a vegetarian
for more than 20 years. I practice what I preach, although
I don't preach, just encourage and nudge, eating many seasonal
vegetables every day. I started teaching vegan cooking 20+
years ago before I could call it that. I still don't do that
because it scares some people. I know that people want food
that tastes great, many don't really care that much if it's
healthy but it's got to be delicious.
Q.What is the McDougall plan?
A.The McDougall diet (www.drmcdougall.com)
is a vegan eating plan that uses no added oils. I taught the
program for 3 years and then took a break. I am now teaching
for the program occasionally and consider myself an expert
at creating great tasting food without the use of added oil
when that's what people want. I still encourage eating lots
of vegetables, legumes, whole grains, fruit and the occasional
addition of nuts, seeds, avocado and olives.
