About Me

I am a Best Selling Author, internationally renowned lecturer, raw food chef and coach. I am the mother to four children, 2 girls and 2 boys. I also have 7 grandchildren. I grew up in Hollywood California. Married at 17 and widowed at 29. I’ve been a vegetarian and vegan for the better part of 50 years. I’ve had an amazingly interesting, fantastic life. I’m a raw food chef, and I tell many stories in my best selling books LIVE RAW and LIVE RAW AROUND THE WORLD, THE ULTIMATE BOOK OF MODERN JUICING, H2OH, PLANT-BASED DOG FOOD REVOLUTION. AND TEA-VITALIZE. mu books are for anyone  interested in a a healthier life.

Since winning the title of the “Sexiest Vegetarian over 50”, and so many people asking my secrets on health and longevity, I thought this was an opportunity to share my life and possibly help others to transition into eating a plant based raw food diet.

For those of you who don’t know about me, i was born September 23, 1938 which makes me 82 this year. Feeling like you’re in your 30’s at 82 is quite an amazing thing. I accredit this youthful look and spirit not only to my attitude, but really to my way of eating which is 85% raw vegan – living foods lifestyle.
