Beet Salad
What’s better than eating good food in a beautiful place? After years of working as a private chef, I took a job in Hawaii cooking plant-based and gluten free meals, after 30 days in the jungle, I emerged along with my little black notebook of recipes. I decided those recipes deserved to be shared along with some stories from my own personal journey. That’s when 30 Days in the Jungle: Plant-Based Cooking in Hawaii became a cookbook. My 30 days in the Hawaiian jungle was life-changing both spiritually and physically. Though I’ve left the jungle, I’ve yet to leave Hawaii. The culture and natural beauty continues to amaze me and inspire my cooking and creating. I hope you join me in discovering how food can transform your life.
