Vegan Cooking with Chef Viva Vegana

My name is Sandy Krebs, but you can call me Chef Viva Vegana. 
I love sharing my culinary knowledge. My goal with Vegan Cooking with Chef Viva Vegana is to share easy recipes to make vegan cooking accessible to everyone. So...Let's Cook!
When I started cooking in SoCal in the 1980's there was an emphasis on using what was fresh and at hand. With the large Latinx and Asian populations what was at hand was a mixture of spices, smells, and flavors that set this young chef’s imagination free. I guess you can say I was into Farm-to-Table and Fusion cooking before it was ever called that.
I spent 30+ years working in the USA, Virgin Islands, Europe, India, and even a brief stint in East Africa. In 2009 my restaurant, Deco, won the prestigious ACF’s Achievement of Excellence Award. Cut to 2017. I had some serious health issues and I knew embracing a vegan lifestyle was the right thing to do, not just for my personal health but for the health of the planet.
