In part-two of my interview with Julia Simon, Executive Vegan Chef and Founder of Nourish, the plant-based delivery service, we're talking alllllll about food.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

 We discuss plant-based proteins like tofu, tempeh, and seitan and how to prepare them, the different types of sugars, kitchen essentials, go-to meals for various occasions, how vegan cheese is made, lab-grown meat, the vegan food scene in Charlotte, and VegFest- the vegan food festival coming up on Sept 7th. 

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Each week on the podcast I will be chatting with experts or sharing tips about topics like food and nutrition, environmentalism and sustainability, and general wellbeing.
