| About me: |
I am a Certified Instructor for the McDougall Starch Solution and also hold a certificate from Cornell in Plant-based Nutrition from the T. Collin Campbell Center for Nutritional Studies. In 2016 I completed the Rouxbe Plant-based Chef Program. I love to cook (and eat!) plant-based foods. I became a vegan in 1989 after reading John Robbins book A Diet for a New America and have been a peertrainer member since 2005.
