Summary

"Help me learn to prepare wonderful meals!"

“I don’t know where to begin in the kitchen!”

Here at PLANTSTRONG, these are requests we get all of the time and we totally understand! It can be overwhelming to learn how to make new meals that taste great, especially when you're new to a plantstrong way of eating. Today, we've got you covered with longtime pal and chef, Derek Sarno.

It's hard to match the passion of Derek, especially in the kitchen. His company, Wicked Healthy Foods, is bringing plenty of plantstrong heat to the world and changing the plant-based retail space across the globe one animal-free meal at a time.

It was COMPASSION, though, that brought Derek to a completely vegan lifestyle when he suffered an unthinkable tragedy - the loss of his fiance. That moment changed the course of his life, career, and ultimately his purpose. He started from the bottom up...and we know that’s where some of you may find yourself right now.

Today, we’re here to help you turn it around, become a wicked good cook, and bring out the flavor, fun, and creativity in your foods. We talk about:

Getting organized in the kitchen
The proper mindset around cooking
Must-Have Kitchen Tools
Spices, veggie prep, sauces, gravies

...and it wouldn’t be a talk with Derek Sarno if we weren’t talking mushrooms! He is the leader of the Mushroom Mafia, after all. For all of the details and tips on this episode, make sure to visit the episode page at planstrongpodcast.com.
