OUR MISSION
I’ve started this Academy because I want other people to experience the joy of cooking. That’s the way I feel about cooking. So, it’s like there’s (an) opportunity to practice mindfulness in getting to alignment. And forget about everything else going on, it’s just about you and it’s just about the ingredients you are working with.
And I also do really believe that your vibration will influence the food. So it’s one aspect is the recipe, another aspect is the ingredient and the third aspect is your mood. So, when all of those are in place, it’s something magic that happens, it’s alchemy. That’s why I call my restaurants Alchemy and this place Alchemy Academy.

With industrialized practices making "ethical, sustainable animal farming", a contradiction in terms, vegans choose not to consume animal products. This means no meat, poultry, seafood, dairy or eggs. For some, it can also mean avoiding insect-sourced products like honey, and bee pollen, and many vegans choose not to use animal materials such as leather, silk, fur, feathers or products that have been tested on living creatures.
WHY VEGAN
I have a feeling that what you eat affects you on more levels than you think. Because when I started eating this way, high vibe food, it’s like all kinds of synchronicity started to happen.
I started Alchemy Restaurant eight (8) years ago. That was because, like when we go to a restaurant, you never know what’s inside the food. It’s like you have so much chemicals, and so much preservatives, and artificial ingredients, artificial sweeteners.
I wanted to just create a restaurant where I know everything is clean. It’s just all clean ingredients - the kind of food that I want to eat myself and the kind of food that I want my children to eat. That’s always in the back of my mind when I create new recipes for Alchemy Restaurant.
