Welcome to Plant Magic

Hi and welcome! I’m Lauren Kretzer, a professional vegan chef, recipe developer and holistic nutritionist. Plant Magic is my weekly newsletter about plant-based cooking, wellness, and combining the two deliciously and easily.

I named this newsletter Plant Magic because plants (as in, the kind we eat and the kind you find in nature) literally have the power to transform your plate, your physical well-being, your mental health, your life. I am continuously amazed by the benefits of a plant based diet and an intentional existence rooted in the natural world.

It’s my belief that if we can all get a bit more connected to our food, it’ll make for more fun in the kitchen, and healthier, longer, more vibrant life. Often, cooking becomes drudgery - a means to an end. If we start to think more consciously about where our food came from, eating seasonally, and ultimately, how it makes us feel, the act of putting together a meal can be meditative and deeply fulfilling.

That’s why I’m here and what I hope you get out of Plant Magic: to feel excited about being in the kitchen again, and to feel the immense benefits of a plant based lifestyle, and to truly experience cooking and eating as the purest act of love you can give yourself and others.
