The Plant Based Chef
Due to increased demand and interest in healthy eating I have gone online with a new website www.theplantbasedchef.org. This site is devoted entirely to plant based eating. So many of my clients ask for special dietary needs and for healthy eating options I felt that this is a natural progression for my services to take. I am also very passionate about what we eat, the way that it is produced and the impact that this is having on our individual health, the health of our communities and the health of our planet.

The Plant based Chef is about eating less animals and their products and more plants. There is truly no reason why plant based food cannot be wonderful, tasty and healthy. As chef with well over twenty years of experience in the world of professional cookery I want to change the way we all view plant based eating. The world of plant based food is rich and varied. Look closely all of the great cuisines of the world and they offer a platform of exceptional seasonal vegetable, fruit and grain based cookery that is the foundation of the worlds great civilisations.
Its your choice.
Its your choice to decide how you wish to eat, as an omnivore, as a vegetarian or vegan. I understand that changing to more of a vegetarian, vegan or plant based diet is difficult in the "meat-centric" world that we inhabit today. It is far easier to accept what is commonly seen as "normal" but I want to challenge what "normal" is and the way that we interact with our food and each other. My aim is provide you with plant based recipes and ideas that will lead you further down the path of using more and more fruits, vegetables and grains in you everyday eating. For your healths sake and for the sake of the planet we should all be trying to eat less animal based and processed foods. The recipes and ideas in this website hopefully will help and encourage a healthier way of eating whether you are an omnivore or herbivore.
