Summary

It’s always been my dream to show people that vegan food doesn’t have to be dull, boring, hard to cook, a bit crap. So when I discovered Sam Turnbull of “It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken” fame, I just HAD to team up with her. Sam works miracles in the kitchen, devising recipes with a minimum number of ingredients that you can find in any local supermarket. When I first used one of her recipes, it was so amazing I thought to myself: what kind of witchcraft is this? Couple of years later and together we’ve devised “The Ultimate Vegan Kitchen”: an online cooking course that takes you inside Sam’s kitchen so you too will learn how to conjure up magic. In our chat, Sam reveals her upbringing in a family of hunters and staunch meat eaters, and her journey in learning to make vegan food truly delicious.
