About Brigitte Gemme:

Brigitte Gemme is passionate about helping more people eat more plants, even if they will never go vegan. Though she used to love rare steak and blue cheese, she started cooking plant-based food in 2013 to reduce her environmental footprint, and went vegan in 2015 for ethical reasons. Today, she is energized by the possibility of improving people's health and vitality by empowering them to cook really good food. She offers meal planning services, online cooking workshops, and a cooking club on her website Vegan Family Kitchen. She is the author of the book Flow in the Kitchen: Practices for Healthy Stress-Free Vegan Cooking. Brigitte has a PhD in Educational Studies from the University of British Columbia and a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from the University of Winchester.
