FAQs
Why are you limiting it to vegan recipes?
By their very nature, vegan recipes are healthy. Without animal products, these recipes are low in saturated fat and high in nutritional value.
What does love have to do with it?
It’s a common tradition to show love by feeding people and cooking for them. It’s my belief that these actions are truly loving only when the foods nourish and heal the body as well as the soul. Feeding loved ones foods that cause disease is not an act of love.
Do I have to be vegan?
Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, I’d love for more non-vegans to teach and learn these recipes.
Is this a sneaky way to convert people to veganism?
No. I think that limiting meat and dairy consumption can have great health benefits. By learning just a few vegan dishes, you have the tools to feed your family and friends one or two meatless meals a week.
What’s so important about teaching others?
Many people are intimidated by cooking. If they aren’t intimidated by cooking, they are intimidated by cooking with unfamiliar ingredients and using unfamiliar techniques. The opportunity to watch and participate in the cooking process and then taste the result has enormous potential to eliminate apprehension. Once someone has cooked a dish once, they then have the confidence to do it again.

Why do you need pictures?
Pictures are a great way to showcase your talents and inspire others. Also, I want to be able to document this effort.
What are you going to do with my pictures?
