On today's episode of Athleisure Kitchen, I sat down with Restaurateur, Author, Entrepreneur, and Celebrity Chef, Matthew Kenney. He has been at the forefront of plant-based cuisine and showing how it not only benefits your body, but can be elevated, and enjoyed by those that are vegans as well as those that aren't! We talk about how he got into the industry, the restaurants that he came up through and how he began to blaze a trail in plant-based cuisine at a time where this was not a space that was widely seen. He breaks down raw vegan, vegan, and his plant-based philosophy. We talk about how he approaches his business, his partnerships, licenses, and creating functional foods that are full of flavor such as his latest, Ntidote. He also shares upcoming projects that we're excited to see how his journey continues as he furthers his plant-based mission.
