Vegan Catering :) Me

Like many of my vision board posters, vegan but better came about one normal day after I finished meditating... Rewind back a few years prior, the struggle to afford a healthy vegan meal was real after transitioning to a vegan diet. 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 aligned 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 healthy vegan 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. Over time, like all things, the storm passed, and my financial situation changed, allowing me to eat at the establishments I once couldn’t afford. 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 tastes like when love is the main ingredient.

At first, this was just a loose saying of “I can cook better than that.” I am proud and happy to say “I built the vision” as I continue to merge my service of giving back to the child and college student just I once was. (And in many ways still am :) I can't wait to honor the young me I see hanging on my wall, with the heart that says have fun kiddo, I love you.
