ME:)

Like many of my vision board posters, vegan but better came about one normal day after I finished mediating... Rewind back a few years prior, the struggle to afford a healthy affordable meal after transitioning to a vegan diet was real. I was unemployed at the time (I was looking😊whilst working on my non-profit) But the reality is, in London I genuinely couldn’t find an establishment that was in line with my health-conscious values, budget and now my new vegan values. So, I did what anyone with a tight budget would do, I cooked!  

I began exploring recipes from this whole new community by chefs such as Rachel Ama and Gaz Oakley to name a few. I cooked the food I couldn't then afford to buy - but could afford to cook. Overtime like all things the storm passed, and my financial situation changed so I ate at the establishments I once couldn’t afford. And honestly, I realized that I was never missing out sure it was convenient and provided fuel which I am always grateful for. But most of what I tried lacked freshness, imagination and above all... love. I knew what food taste like when love is the main ingredient.  

At first this was just a lose saying of “I can cook better than that” I am proud, happy to be able to say “I built the vision” as I continue to build upon merging service of giving back to the child and college student that was once me. I can't wait to honor the young me I see hanging on my wall, with the heart that says have fun kiddo.)
