My Philosophy |
I like to live and teach what I call "conscious cuisine." Is it good for the body? Is it good for the planet? Does it taste good and touch the soul of one's taste buds and well-being? Is what I am teaching, preparing and cooking making a connection to ourselves and others; to culture and community; to food choices and food sources? The answer, "yes," must be the main ingredient here for the recipe to work.
I am a realist who practices inclusiveness. Although I choose to eat plant-based, I respect other people's choices to be vegetarian, carnivore, omnivore and any other "-vore" that is yet to be proclaimed. One of my teachers taught me: Don't 'should' on me and I won't 'should' on you. I support this approach to life as long as everyone plays nice and does no harm. I overcame a significant health crisis with the healing power of plant based whole foods. My quest for maintaining optimal health is the foundation for my preference of a plant-based lifestyle. I feel it's important to share my skills, techniques, knowledge, recipes and experience with others who are beginning to explore more plant-based choices in their diet or those who are looking to expand their own plant-based palate and perspective. |
About being an artist:
When I title myself as an artist, I am reaching back to an essence. Whether I am creating nourishing food, a meal plan, or diving deep into my roots of drawing, painting, pottery, jewelry or gardening, I embrace and connect with the infinite creative Source of I AM. Whatever I am "doing" I strive to be creating, evolving, listening, being, serving a Higher Power that guides me and allows me to serve you. |
