Episode 8: The Making of Chef AJ

Chef AJ is such a delight. What I love about AJ is that she is so creative in the kitchen, brutally honest and not afraid to talk about the not so nice parts of life. As we discussed in this show, she is a "graceful ram". AJ and I spoke about her childhood. We talked about how she entered the plant based movement during a time when vegetarianism was not celebrated. We talked about her great show. One of the questions I had for was how she approaches the person who says that they don’t like cooking or that it is hard to cook for one person. These are real issues that hold people back. It was great to hear how she approaches these issues. This podcast was really fun to do. I am thankful for the work she is doing. ---- Chef AJ has been devoted to a plant-exclusive diet for nearly 45 years. She was the host of the television series Healthy Living with CHEF AJ which aired on Foody TV.
