I’m a driver trainer by day, but in my spare time, I’m passionate about showing people how satisfying and delicious a plant-based diet can be.

Over the last few years, I’ve been on a journey to give up meat, and now all animal products from my diet. Together with my husband Stuart, we’ve been training ourselves how to eat and sustain a nourishing and healthy vegan lifestyle. It turns out that being vegan is way easier and more satisfying than we had ever imagined it would be. And we have never felt better!

It’s been so exciting to discover the variety of plant-based food I’ve been able to find and create. Meal preparation has turned into full-blown experimentation! I want to share the thrill of tasting something so amazing with others so you too can be inspired to eat more plants―wherever you are on your journey.

If you’re already vegan, I hope you’ll find new and exciting ways to eat your favourite plants with my simple and creative recipes.

Stu (the taste-tester and tech-wizard behind Silvobeat) just launched our website this year and we are working hard to create a beautiful collection of recipes for you to try at home.
