Yvonne Ardestani launched her food blog, My Eclectic Kitchen, shortly after enrolling in the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Pasadena, California, in 2009. The school is known as one of the premier culinary institutions in the world. She started writing about her life in the kitchen when she was working as an intern and eventually became a cook for Suzanne Goin, a chef who is known all over the world. Yvonne was exposed to the fast-paced kitchens of Chef Goin's restaurants, Lucques and Tavern, where she gained an understanding of the significance of cooking meals in the farm-to-table approach and placing an emphasis on locally grown and seasonal ingredients. Working the line and getting ready for service was an incredible opportunity for her, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. She had the privilege of making the dessert for Barack Obama's fundraiser dinner, which took place at Tavern, and she had the good fortune of working as a caterer with Lucques at the SAG Awards and Oscar events for a few years. It was a thrilling experience, and Yvonne will treasure the memories she has of it forever. Yvonne's Journey Yvonne will be thankful till the end of time for all of the education and experience that she received while working in professional kitchens. However, because of her particular health problem, hypothyroidism, she felt driven to put her culinary abilities and her creative side to work in order to devise a way of living that would enable her to keep a healthy balance between the foods she eats and the foods that have a delightful flavor. Despite the fact that she was an avid runner and physically thin, Yvonne's levels of LDL, also known as "bad cholesterol," and triglycerides were high for the very first time in her life. She knew that it was vitally important for her to eliminate butter, cream, sugar, and kosher salt from the foods that she cooked for herself because this was the first time in her life that these levels had been elevated. Yvonne blamed her less-than-ideal blood results on the extensive amount of taste testing she did at work, the lunches provided for her coworkers, and the fact that she gorged herself on stale pastries that would have otherwise been thrown away. Yvonne was preparing to quit her training ground when a remarkable chance offered itself, and she became a private chef for customers who want tasty and fulfilling meals that was both low in calorie intake and good in nutrition. Yvonne worked with the fitness expert and self-care coach of one of her customers, Anna Price, to come up with well-balanced meals that would help the client accomplish their specific weight-loss objectives while still being able to satisfy her clients' refined palates. Yvonne began reading The Beauty Detox Solution by Kimberly Snyder at the beginning of 2013, and it ended up having a significant impact on her life. Since she became vegan and gluten-free at the beginning of 2013, she has developed a strong interest in vegan food that not only looks and tastes appetizing but also supports a healthy way of life. Yvonne considers her decision to live a vegan diet to be a victory not just for her own health, energy, and overall vitality, but also for all animals and the Earth as a whole. Yvonne draws inspiration for her recipes from her multi-cultural upbringing, her go-to ethnic restaurants and markets, the cookbooks, magazines, Instagram, and blogs that she devours, and the interesting ingredients that she tests out in her own kitchen. She feels obliged to spread the word about the deliciousness of dishes that she creates, perfects, and tries out on herself. Yvonne extends an invitation to you to accompany her on her adventure as she develops a plant-based diet that is not only wholesome but also sumptuous, and that will ultimately result in increased vitality, wellbeing, and longevity. Through her Yvonne's Vegan Kitchen range of items, you can now purchase cakes, sweet and savory snacks, and cheeses that are more nutritious alternatives to the traditional versions.
