OMChef Plant-Based Chef & Vegan Culinary Coach

Going vegan or plant-based is one of the most powerful steps towards better health and a healthier planet. But, adopting a vegan or plant-based diet can be challenging, and when not done well can become expensive, unhealthy and generate excessive food waste.

Vegan diets contain no meat, seafood, dairy, or eggs.

Plant-based diets are essentially a Mediterranean diet. This means for some no animal products at all. But for others, a plant-based diet can include small amounts of animal products.

The USA leads the world in food waste, and all that waste creates methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than C02. Learning how to buy and cook properly will save you money and reduce your food carbon footprint.

Food manufacturers are creating 'vegan' products that, unfortunately, are no healthier than their animal food counterparts. The biggest difference between vegan and plant based is plant-based avoids all processed foods, including vegan products. Learning to cook whole-food plant-based means cooking from scratch, thankfully, it's much easier than the food manufacturers would have us believe.

OmChef Method is a low-waste, plant-based system of cooking. Developed over 25 years as a private chef, based on a combination of professional chef techniques and tips and tricks from our great grandmothers.

The OMChef Method is designed to work with ANY diet, from Weight Watchers to Keto, to DASH, to Ornish. Any diet can be made more budget-friendly, plastic-free, and zero food waste with the OMChef Method.

People have come to me inspired to try vegan or plant-based diets for a variety of reasons. For some it is for better health and weight loss, for some it is concern about meat consumption worsening the climate crisis, and for others it's been a health crisis, like cancer. After working with numerous people undergoing chemo treatments I have devised a flexible plant-based diet that is nutritionaly dense, but moist importantly, it is delicious.
