The Whole Food Vegan Podcast

Helping you enjoy a wonderfully varied, tasty, easy to prepare & nutritious whole food plant based diet. No Crap. No Agenda. We are passionate in their quest to enjoy and share with you the best whole food vegan food, cooked from scratch everyday. Our names are Mark and Sue.We love eating a healthy and balanced wholefood plant-based diet. We cook from scratch using raw ingredients virtually every day and the purpose of this vegan pod cast is to share not only recipes but our cooking principles with you. Neither of us are trained chefs, but both of us have a passion for food and sharing it, just ask our friends that come to our dinner parties. In sharing what we cook each week we know that you will see trends and patterns in the way we think about food, you’ll discover easy ways to turn raw vegetables and ingredients into healthy, tasty meals that you, your friends and family will love. We are not going to get into the politics of being vegan, there are many other podcasts that do that. We are not not here to convince you to become vegan, there are other podcasts for that as well. We are not even here to tell you about the latest vegan fast food, mainly because we generally don’t eat it! We are here to help you eat healthily, freshly cooked and delicious vegan meals everyday which don’t cost the earth or take hours to prepare. If you like what you hear, please remember to rate, review and subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts, or subscribe via email here https://govegan.online/ Thank you, Sue and Mark

Two sisters, a health crisis, and a beetroot risotto that changes everything.

In this episode of The Whole Food Vegan Podcast, we chat with The Gavin Sisters about how a reluctant switch to whole food plant based eating helped Lauretta claw her life back from chronic illness, and how that journey became The Detox Barn, nourishing retreats and Funky Coffee, their mushroom infused brew that keeps the morning ritual without the crash.

We talk honest realities of going vegan, feeding families who still love bacon, running inclusive gluten free, plant based retreats, and why the goal is not perfection, but small daily shifts that make you feel more alive.

Listen in and ask yourself: what is one tiny change you could make this week that your future self would thank you for?
