Welcome friend, I’m Chef Maitri! For 20 years, I was a scientist researching cancer, Alzheimer’s and women’s health issues – all of which run in my family. I also started and sold 2 biotech companies, and raised 4 kids. After seeing the overwhelming evidence for a whole foods plant-based diet and meditation to help all of these diseases, I became a chef and zen practitioner. I make plant-based food that loves you and heals you, like a warm hug. If you’re new here, you might like this quick guide on where to start with plant-based food.
