"Food from nature is simply the best." ~ Chef sandi
In 2003, I lost my beloved mother to Diabetes. A few months after I started having some digestive issues so I decided to change my traditional eating habits to a more plant-based Vegan lifestyle. It was not easy at first changing to the Vegan Lifestyle because It was a totally different type of cuisine from my traditional Jamaican cuisine. I did not know how to prepare Vegan meals so my beloved significant other Philip Michael Thomas (Miami-Vice) bought me a Vegan cookbook. I enjoyed preparing the plant-based Vegan meals with the fresh herbs such as; cilantro, parsley, basil and thyme along with various spices; cumin, ginger, paprika, cinnamon and turmeric. The aroma from the fresh herbs and spices excited my taste buds. After eating my meals, I always felt energetic and vibrant so I decided to continue with my Vegan Lifestyle.
I fell in love with the Vegan lifestyle and I wanted to learn how to prepare more exquisite and tantalizing dishes so I decided to attend Culinary school. However, it was not until I started experimenting in the privacy of my kitchen that I created my own Vegan recipes. As a Jamaican I wanted to keep some of my Island Culture into my Vegan lifestyle so I created a Jerk Tofu dish using our famous traditional Jerk sauce. I also created a Mediterranean TacoFiesta, a Chickpea "Tuna," Salad and a Kale "TuneUp" Smoothie.
Before I became a Vegan Chef, I was a Physical Education teacher so exercise was always an important part of my lifestyle. Jack LaLanne coined a phrase that states, "Exercise is King, Nutrition is Queen put them together and you've got a Kingdom." I agree with that statement because exercise and nutrition is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle.
I have a passion for teaching and sharing simple ways to create tasty vegan meals so I decided to publish my Vegan Recipe for Life cook book with some of my quick and easy Divine Dishes, Super Soups, Live Juice and Smoothies, Sensational Salads and Tantalizing Treats to help you learn how to prepare your own Vegan meals so you can have a jump-start to a healthy lifestyle.
Blessings,
Chef Sandi
