Customized Culinary Classes & Consultations

Are you interested in learning more about how to prepare healthy, plant-based recipes? Could you benefit from a tour through Toronto’s health food stores and markets to stock your pantry with nutrient dense ingredients? Together we can create menus or take a shopping trip designed specifically to support your shift toward a healthier way of life.

Tailored Presentations (e.g. recipe demos, lectures, MC)

I have presented at the Toronto Vegetarian Food Fair, Vegetarian Summerfest, Whole Foods Markets and for groups throughout India, Thailand, Bali, Austrailia, New Zealand and Hawaii.

I have extensive experience presenting food demos, facilitating panel discussions, hosting events and key note addresses. I would be happy to create a tailored presentation, demo a delicious recipe or host your next vegan event.

I am often asked to develop presentations on emotional wellbeing for activists. This is one of my favourite topics since it brings together my expertise as a social worker with my passion for the vegan movement. But…I do love to talk about crafting amazing vegan desserts as well.

Vegan Product/Book Reviews

I’m always interested in the new vegan products and resources hitting the market. I write regular reviews on VeganCulinaryCrusade.com and for the Toronto Vegetarian Association. Send me a note if there’s something you’d like me to try.

Recipe Testing

I’ve worked as a recipe tester for: Ripe from Around Here, Viva Vegan,Practically Raw, Blissful Bites, Vegan a la Mode, and Great Gluten-Free Vegan Eats. Plus numerous eBook projects.

If you’re working on a cookbook and need someone who’s an expert at following directions, taking notes and finding all the ingredients in your list…let me know.

Freelance Writing

I often contribute articles for website and newsletters.

Common topics include: Vegan Travel, Solo Travel, Raw Recipes, Kid-Friendly Food, Eating Well on a Budget, Emotional Intelligence, Compassionate Relationships, and Creating Joy.

Please send me an assignment request.

Custom Vegan Gift Baskets

Everyone loves a thoughtful gift. Celebrate the people in your life with a customized gift basket of homemade treats and fantastic finds.

I create vegan and gluten-free (and all raw if requested) baskets for new Moms, college students, to help stock a new home, to wish someone a speedy recovery, or just because.

Let me know what you need and I’ll tie it all up in a bow
