The Journey Begins

My story starts not in the confines of a kitchen but amidst the vibrant landscapes and rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean. It was there, wandering through bustling streets and local markets, that I uncovered the true essence of food: fresh, simple, and deeply connected to the earth. This pivotal discovery became the cornerstone of Vie De La Vegan, a platform dedicated to exploring and sharing the wonders of plant-based living.

Having honed my skills at the Escoffier School of Culinary Arts and enriched my knowledge through a specialized course at eCornell University, I stand today as a testament to living a life aligned with my values. Certified in fitness nutrition by the American Fitness Professionals & Associates, I specialize in the rich and compassionate world of vegan nutrition. With my dietician training and over a decade of experience, I have gained profound insights into food and health. This training has equipped me to guide others toward healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.

Starting my own plant-based journey was a new chapter for me—a path of learning and growth filled with both challenges and victories. This personal experience has shown me how crucial it is to begin your journey towards plant richness, no matter where you are starting from.

I believe in the power of plant-based living. It’s more than a diet; it’s a lifestyle that honors our health, the environment, and all living beings.

Every plant-based meal is an opportunity to nourish ourselves responsibly and compassionately.
