What are your favorite Vegan Hot Spots in Vancouver?

Oh man, lots. Vegan Pizza House is awesome. Meet on Main is pretty great. The veggie plate at Axum Ethiopian is amazing. Budgie’s Burritos is crazy. Chau Veggiexpress is delicious. Eternal Abundance is fresh!

If you take a road trip, what do you pack as a snack?

Brazil nuts (two a day gives you all the selenium you need), gooey Medjool dates, green smoothies, lots of water!

What is your number 1 energy boost on an active day?

Spirulina or dates.

Do you have a favorite soul feeding book (something that makes you dream big)?

Not a book, but the Rich Roll Podcast! Always inspiring. I’ve just started listening to it and already have a list of new life goals for the next year.

What would be a great book for a vegan-beginner?

Hmm, honestly there are so many and since everybody is different, different books will speak to them. So maybe check out my Resources page to see everything that has helped me!

Tell us more about your new book!

Oh yay, yes! Mkay so it’s called The Rawsome Vegan Cookbook. You can pre-order it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Book Depository or wherever else books are sold, right now! WOO! It’ll be officially published in early December (perfect timing for Christmas presents, riiiiiight?). It’s about 100 recipes, half are raw, half are cooked. They are ALL vegan (always!) and gluten-free.

In short: my standards for this book are the highest they have ever been. My photography and recipe development have both really improved, and I took the reigns on the design of this one more than my last two so it looks exactly how I want it to. Finally, I just think this cookbook is the most honest reflection of me so far, and you can see that in the writing.
