If you've ever considered going plant-based/vegan/vegetarian, or even turning your foodie passion into a business, then this episode is for you. My guest today is Chef Mokgadi Itsweng, Creative Director and Head Chef at Lotsha Home Foods.
Today she shares all the wisdom she's gathered throughout her 17-year journey in the food industry. And now that she's got many skills and lessons under her belt, she's ready to share it with us all through the products she sells on your supermarket shelf, her cook book Veggie Licious, the farmers she supports, her speaking engagements and teachings on various platforms, including Shades and Layers.
In today's episode, she talks about:
-Food sustainability
-Organic Farming IRL
-Consciousness vs. Convenience
-Pivoting a Business (Agility)
-And of course, her very own personal story since childhood
Definitely don't miss this one! We had loads of laughs and I hope you'll share in the joy of this conversation.
