Welcome to Eat like a Vegan Chef! Hi, I'm Chef Frank. For years I have been helping people overcoming unhealthy eating habits by adopting a whole food plant based lifestyle, to achieve ultimate health and weight loss. I have been fortunate enough to have cooked in many places in the world and had incredible experiences doing what I love. However, all my life I have chased the purpose of life until I transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle. It had such a huge impact on me and my community, simply through living by example. Even vegans around me became curious about the food I would cook and eat. The impact was and still is two-fold: I get to make a difference in people's health and collectively as a group when it comes to sustainability and animal lives. People around me would start eating more vegetables and fewer animal foods. They would drop significant weight and felt better than ever before. That’s when I knew my calling as a chef. My sincere hope is to inspire you even if it is just an ounce of pure plant-based wholesomeness. Feel free to connect with me through Social Media or email.
