I make plant-based food people actually crave. Then I teach your kitchen to do it.
28 years on the line. Four cookbooks. One standard.
Gourmand Award — Winner · Red Seal Certified · Best Chef — Toronto · 4 Cookbooks
28 years in professional kitchens. Zero compromises at the table.
Doug built his reputation in professional kitchens before turning his attention to recipes home cooks could actually pull off on a weeknight — food that happens to be organic and dairy-free, without ever tasting like a compromise.
I build plant-based menus and products that sell. Restaurant menus, packaged products, kitchen training — for operators who want food people come back for.
Classics, veganized
Boneless wings. Smoked ribs. Butter chicken. None of it was ever an animal.
Recipes I actually cook at home. Soups, a curry, and an apple crumble that doesn’t need butter to taste like it does. Free, as always.

Tell me what you’re building.
Menus, products, kitchen training, keynotes, TV. If it needs to taste like the real thing, that’s the job.
