Hello and welcome to Beauty Inside Out. I'm your host, Kimberly Snyder, nutritionist, wellness expert, and author. On this

Every week we have interviews with amazing pioneers in their fields.

Hey, you cany who is my opinion the world but we'll say one of the world's leading chefs

at the forefront of plant-based cuisine is the author of 12 cookbooks and a best-selling memoir and the culinary director and CEO of Matthew

Kenny cuisine.

We're going to talk about all the different facets of this company, but first Matthew, thank you

so much for being here with us today.

Thank you. So happy to be here.

I have been such a fan, so I know I'm going to sound like a fan girl.

At the beginning of this, I remember living in New York, I went to some of your restaurants there here I go all the time

to to the one in Venice plant food and wine which I love a lot which has the most

amazing backyard so I want to say first of all

thank you so much for creating spaces where plant-based eating is really

elegant and beautiful and delicious and just feels like a real experience because I feel like sometimes that can be

missing from our culture it's going more plant-based but the idea of having something

that's really elegant isn't always there.

Yeah I felt like that was something that there was a void in the market many years ago I thought

for you know plant-based restaurants that are not seen as a fringe type of business

but that can compete with non-plant-based restaurants you know and we're on Abbot Kinney
