Today, I am joined by Chef AJ! Vegan for over 40 years, Chef AJ is the Queen of Quick and Easy plant-based recipes. She’s the culinary wizard behind delicious dishes that are oil-free, refined sugar-free, and salt-free. As a chef, author, and host, Chef AJ is passionate about creating convenient and easy recipes that make healthy eating fun and incredibly tasty.

I met Chef AJ the same place I met Dr. Alan Goldhamer, at Ethos Farm Days in September and, my husband and I were the lucky recipients of the desserts she made on stage. These desserts are no joke, if you are going to buy one cookbook, buy her newest, Sweet Indulgence. I’ll be sure to share the photos of the dessert with the post for this episode. Chef AJ is real, relatable, and so incredibly joyful, this interview was so much fun.
