Since I was little, I helped my mom bake and
cook. Any school fundraiser and the like was
an excuse to bake. I love the magic of the
kitchen, and nothing fascinates or pleases
me more than mixing ingredients to create
healthy and delicious meals.
When I became
vegan, after many years of attempting to do
so, I thought that it would restrict my
cooking. Instead, it has made it grow. I had
to be more creative than I had been before.
Taking a piece of meat, seasoning it, and
applying heat is easy. Vegan meals require a
more imaginative touch.
After college, I
decided to give the cooking world a go. I
enrolled in the Natural Gourmet cooking
school where I learned the basics. I then
did an internship at Candle 79, a vegan
restaurant here in New York City.
After
attending several events where the only food
for vegetarians and vegans was steamed
vegetables, I saw a need that had to be met.
I started a vegan catering company, Tastee
Vegan. Since then, we have catered events
for corporations, such as Leading Building
Services, a green cleaning company. We also
donated our catering services to the League
of Humane Voters.
I hope Tastee Vegan can
actually make a difference. I want it to be
more than just an animal, earth, and people
friendly company. I want to use it to help
the world. It is my goal to start a
sanctuary for animals and people. |
