Chef AJ’s passion is teaching people how to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet in ways that are easy, delicious, and fun. I have been following a plant-based diet for over 33 years, as my favorite T-shirt says, “My IQ is higher than my cholesterol.” I and the pastry Chef at Sante Restaurant and my specialty is teaching people how to prepare plant indulgent food without using processed or refined ingrediants like suger, salt, and oil. I use only plant based whole foods such as fruits to sweeten. Author of Unprocessed.
