We show how delicious plant-based eating can be. We present cooking demos everywhere from grocery store parking lots and corporate boardrooms to trade show stages and tropical resorts. We often look at each other and laugh about our wild adventures.

Educators
Sisters

We both went vegan as teenagers to help the planet

We quickly dedicated our lives to bringing about positive change. After working together at an environmental non-profit out of college, we attended vegan culinary school and then worked in restaurants. Soon, we decided to start our own company, Spork Foods, where we taught vegan cooking classes in West Hollywood for over 15 years.
