I have known Chad since meeting him at a raw food convention in Jamaica in 2000. I reconnected with him at his amazing restaurant called Saf in London. Chad, thanks for sharing your story and recent project with The Kind Life!
In my late teens, after a long journey with asthma, I took the jump and embraced a vegan diet. Within months my asthma symptoms completely disappeared, and from that point forward I dove into understanding how the foods we prepare and eat every day affect our health. Since then, it has been my personal mission to share with anyone that would listen that we can take control of our health, starting in the kitchen. This is why I feel so aligned with Alicia’s mission and her empowering the Kind Life.
Over the last 15 years, culinary education has been my focus. I have trained chefs in plant-based cooking, done personal cheffing, opened plant-based restaurants and also lead the health education initiative at Whole Foods Market. With all of these ventures, I have repeatedly seen the same thing–hundreds of students and clients changing their lives by embracing a plant-based diet and cooking with plants at home. This has only confirmed what I discovered myself as a teen—eating more plants creates better health.
I now know that the simplicity of teaching people the fundamentals of cooking plants needs to continue to amplify and be available to the masses. Rouxbe Online Cooking School was a perfect fit to make this mission and passion that drives me a reality. With Rouxbe’s incredible global platform and commitment to groundbreaking quality instructional videos, the Rouxbe plant-based courses are without a doubt game-changers in the world of online education and plant-based culinary education, anywhere.

Join me in building a plant-based army of educators to spread this message to the world- for our health, for real food and for our planet.
