Welcome to Plant Magic
Hi and welcome! I’m Lauren Kretzer, a professional plant-based chef, recipe developer and holistic nutritionist. Plant Magic is my weekly newsletter where I share everything I know about cooking, wellness, evidence-based nutrition and holistic living with you.
My kitchen cred? I received my culinary training at the famed Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts in New York City. I currently work as a recipe developer, creating whole food plant based recipes for my clients, who have included New York Times best-selling authors Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, Kris Carr and Dan Buettner, wellness companies, medical organizations and print/online media. My work has appeared in Vogue, Food52, New York Magazine, Yoga Journal, VegNews, Well + Good, mindbodygreen, and many more.
As a cancer survivor who relied on plant based nutrition to heal, I am passionate about sharing everything I’ve learned as a patient, chef and holistic nutritionist to help you live a long, healthy, joyful life - deliciously! No deprivation here - I live for good food and I’m guessing you do, too.
Last, but most importantly, I’m a busy mom of two girls, so I am intimately familiar with the challenge of putting healthy food on the table when you’re spending the day caregiving, working and generally being superwoman. Every recipe in this newsletter is created with that in mind - I love to keep it simple as much as possible.
