Hi, I'm Jen.

13

I am Gwen.

14

Gwen, it's so great to meet you today.

15

Um, I'm so happy that you can come and

have this conversation on the Carbon

16

Sessions with us about your new book.

17

And before we get into your book, I want

to ask you, have you always loved food?

18

Always.

19

I always loved food and I loved the

attention I got when I made food.

20

So that was kind of, you know, I

have four, uh, siblings and, um,

21

I would get a lot of attention

from them and their friends.

22

And so I started getting,

you know, Oh, okay.

23

Neighborhood chef, were you?

24

Well, I knew I wanted

to do something in food.

25

I really did.

26

And I love food and I love writing

about food, talking about food.

27

You know, so it's always been a big thing.

28

And so was that from a very young age?

29

As long as I can remember.

30

Wow.

31

I grew up in Santa Fe in the Bay

Area, a small town called Petaluma,

32

which is north of San Francisco.

33

But my family went into San Francisco

quite a bit, and you know, as any

34

city, San Francisco is known for

certain kinds of food, and it was just

35

always so exciting to go in and, and,

you know, the clam chowder and the

36

breads and the ravioli and all the

different, you know, ethnic bagel.

37

I had a bagel for the first time

as a young teenager and I was

38

like, oh my gosh, this is amazing.

39

So something so simple now that

my daughter has bagels all the

40

time, but it was to me like, oh my

gosh, it's the most amazing thing.

41

So, yeah.

42

Absolutely.

43

One of my favorite restaurants ever is

in San Francisco, um, The Stinking Rose.

44

I don't know if you know it.

45

Of course.

46

All about garlic.

47

All about garlic.

48

All about garlic.

49

We have their cookbook.

50

We loved it so much.

51

Oh, great.

52

That's good.

53

Well, so when, um, what, like, is this

your first book that you've written and,

54

and when did you get the idea to write it?

55

Well, this is actually my fourth cookbook.

56

Okay.

57

And um, my publisher, we were working

on another book and my publisher

58

had a dream and she saw the cover in

her dream and she said, Gwen, I just

59

can't get this idea out of my head.

60

You know, we'll do it as just

an ebook because, you know,

61

save the planet and the trees.

62

And she said, I just see the fantastic.

63

And I literally wrote the

first draft in like five days.

64

I was up with my mom in Petaluma

and she was not feeling well.

65

And I was kind of taking care

of her and just hanging out.

66

And I wrote it very quickly.

67

And once my publisher, Judy

Proffer, saw it, she was like, Oh

68

no, this has to be a book book.

69

This can't just be an e book.

70

This is way too good

to just do the e book.

71

So we, um, we started working on

it and, um, it's been amazing.

72

It's been an incredible journey.

73

How long did it take you?

74

Well, I mean, from start, like

literally the first draft was five

75

days and then it was many, many,

76

It's funny.

77

It's funny.

78

And we know what happened then.

79

And so, you know, I mean, the thing is,

is that, you know, you look at this world

80

and you say things happen for a reason

and you can really see in this case,

81

had it come out in 2020, I wouldn't have

had a relationship with Alice Waters who

82

wrote the quote for the back of the book.

83

I wouldn't have had, you know, a lot of

knowledge and a lot of different things

84

that have allowed me to open doors for me.

85

So it probably would have

86

We couldn't do events

because of the pandemic.

87

So I think that it needed to

come out when it came out.

88

So that it could have the

life of its own, you know.

89

So, yeah.

90

And can, can you tell

us who this book is for?

91

I know it's about plants, plant

based food, but who is this book for?

92

And what's your passion

around that kind of cooking?

93

Well, I think this book is for anybody

who's curious about plant based food.

94

And I'm not saying become a

full on vegan or, you know, um,

95

change your whole lifestyle.

96

I'm just saying, I'm inviting you

to come into the kitchen and look

97

at plants in a different way.

98

We all can use more plants in our diet.

99

And so to be able to, you know, I

had one client who said to me, yeah,

100

I love that salad that you did.

101

And I loved it with a steak on top.

102

Okay.

103

If that gets you to the

green, I'm okay with that.

104

You know?

105

I mean, we can all use more plant

food and, and I think that it

106

just, it's really approachable.

107

I wanted it to keep it approachable

because a lot of these books

108

you go into, and it's 10

ingredients you've never heard of.

109

And you have to go to this

health food store or this

110

store or this specialty store.

111

I wanted it to be pantry and

supermarket available so that you

112

could just actually do these recipes.

113

So that it's easy for people.

114

Yeah.

115

You're easier.

116

Yeah.

117

So the planet picture on the front,

what was the vision, did you, did you

118

satisfy your publisher's vision of

what she was dreaming about here in

119

the, uh, with the world on the front?

120

Oh, it totally satisfied you.

121

And more.

122

Some of the best ideas start

out as kind of like, Oh, by the

123

way, you want to work on this?

124

And then it ends up being the

thing, you know, so, um, it was

125

very, very organic and wonderful.

126

And, and the book came together

very organic and wonderful way.

127

Here we are.

128

I mean, it's great.

129

You know, I get all kinds of people

I've met at different signings and

130

events who have all these different

you know, thoughts and ideas and, you

131

know, what they think plant based food

is and then like, Oh my gosh, I didn't

132

realize you could make it so delicious.

133

I'd be eating salads all the time if

you'd come over and make the dressing,

134

and I'm like, you can make it.

135

There are recipes in the book.

136

It's really easy.

137

So, yeah.

138

It's fantastic.

139

And there seems to be a shift towards

more, more plants in at least Yeah.

140

you know, where I live, there seems

to be a shift toward more plants.

141

And when we're talking about, you

know, reducing carbon emissions, and

142

we're talking about looking after the

health of the planet and the health

143

of the people, what are some of the

benefits that, that you've become aware

144

of with the plant, plant based eating?

145

Well, I think the benefits are

everything you just mentioned and

146

everything that is good for your body.

147

I mean, you can just feel like if you do

a screen smoothie, you can just feel it

148

going down through your body and you feel.

149

The energy, you feel the energy

of the plants and you feel good.

150

And I think that how many times have

we eaten something that's sugary

151

or, you know, high in fat, whatever.

152

And, and we're like, Oh, I feel terrible.

153

Well, I think the complete

opposite when you eat plant food

154

is that you just feel so good.

155

And you feel, you know, you

can feel the nutrition and you

156

can just feel it in your body.

157

It's, it's amazing.

158

And if you make it taste

good, all the better.

159

Absolutely.

160

I think it's becoming less out there.

161

And more common.

162

Oh, absolutely.

163

In 2015, I wrote a book

called The Lotus Kitchen.

164

Every day.

165

vegetarian recipes to nourish your yoga

practice and inspire mindful eating.

166

And I wrote it with my yoga coach.

167

It's all plant based.

168

There's maybe one recipe where

there's an option for cheese,

169

but it's really plant based.

170

And my publisher said, you know,

we can't do a vegan cookbook.

171

It has to be vegetarian, vegetarian.

172

I can sell vegan.

173

And then a few short years later,

it's like, you know, you know,

174

Everything's wanting plant based.

175

Times have changed and people are

really open to it now and you know, once

176

you see the benefits and how you feel

and it just makes it all the better.

177

One of my co hosts, uh, Leakey

had a couple of questions that she

178

wanted me to make sure I ask you.

179

One of them is about batching

and she said, batching is boring.

180

So how do you make it interesting?

181

Batch cooking.

182

And do you do that in this cookbook?

183

Well You know, I don't really

do it in this cookbook.

184

I mean, you can absolutely batch cook.

185

You can double, triple the

recipes and batch cook.

186

I like to eat a variety of different

things, so the idea never really

187

appeals to me, you know, so I would

rather do smaller because I love

188

different flavors and textures and,

you know, I'm not one to like eat.

189

a bowl of oatmeal every morning, you

know, and we'll have coffee every morning.

190

Yeah, it's a little different.

191

I do work with the Edible

Schoolyard Project and um, we do

192

700 breakfasts and lunches a day,

so that's kind of batch cooking.

193

And what project is that?

194

It's um, the Edible Schoolyard Project,

which was founded by Alice Waters.

195

And, um, it's a scratch kitchen,

so we make fresh scratch

196

lunches and, uh, breakfasts five

days a week for the students.

197

And good food.

198

I mean, really good food.

199

Wow.

200

That's amazing.

201

And, and is that in, in one school or one?

202

Well, there's, it's one school,

uh, Larchmont Charter, but they

203

have four different campuses.

204

So we, uh, cook for two

of the campuses right now.

205

And, um, it's everything

from, you know, pasta.

206

marinara to, you know, but everything

is, uh, freshly made on, in our kitchen.

207

Wow.

208

I bet that makes a difference.

209

It makes such a difference.

210

I mean, I, I, I can't even imagine.

211

I mean, when my daughter was going

through school and she would get these,

212

you know, packaged, pre packaged lunch

things and You know, she really wanted

213

to do the school lunch because all her

friends were doing the school lunch and

214

she just couldn't do it after a few days.

215

She's like, it's just horrible.

216

It's disgusting.

217

And no, no child deserves that.

218

Every child deserves, it should

be a right and not a privilege.

219

It should be, every

student should get a fresh.

220

meal.

221

And, you know, they don't like some of

the things and sometimes some of the

222

green, they don't want to eat that.

223

And I have watched kids go

from, I don't eat salad to look

224

chef Gwen, I'm eating my salad.

225

And it's really nice to see how

they grow and evolve by, um,

226

you know, having this good food.

227

I mean, we buy produce from local

farmers and, um, you know, they'll

228

see the, the, one of our farmers.

229

Pushing the dolly to, to the kitchen with

crates of fresh fruits and vegetables.

230

And they get to see that and

they get to see how good it is.

231

And they get to see that

it comes from the ground.

232

And we also have cooking

and gardening classes.

233

So they get to really see and experience.

234

And if they're doing something in the

cooking or gardening class, we kind of

235

try and coordinate lunches around it.

236

If they're studying something in

history, we'll come up with something.

237

We did, you know, something for,

uh, we did ramen for lunar new year.

238

So we're always trying to

kind of do different things.

239

Gets them curious.

240

And has them, you know, wanting

to know, wow, this is really good.

241

And the parents are always coming back.

242

I don't know what you do,

but my kid's eating whatever

243

salad every single night now.

244

They call the marinara

sauce, the magic sauce.

245

So it's great.

246

That is amazing.

247

And what a thing to introduce that

many young people to, you know,

248

a lifelong a habit, a lifelong

interest and curiosity about food

249

and to expand their taste ranges.

250

And then I bet, I bet they do

so much better at school when

251

they're eating amazing food.

252

I think so.

253

I mean, it's got to go

hand in hand, right?

254

I mean, if you can't study,

When you're hungry, you can't

255

study when you're eating junk.

256

You can't focus as well when

you're eating that kind of stuff.

257

So, you know, as we learn and grow, I

mean, it used to be you sent your kid with

258

apple juice and that was really healthy.

259

And then they've come to realize that

a lot of apple juice isn't as healthy.

260

A lot of the sugary drinks aren't

as healthy as they thought.

261

So, you know, we're learning

and evolving every single day.

262

and how we're allowing kids to eat and,

um, you know, just expanding their palate.

263

It's really great.

264

That's fantastic.

265

I, um, I also have the other question that

Leakey had was that you were a caterer

266

or you are a caterer on a film set.

267

Is that still the case?

268

So yeah, I've been on film sets.

269

Um, uh, I don't cater as much now

as I did pre the pandemic, but yeah,

270

I've worked on all kinds of events

and films and, and it's great.

271

I had the experience of working

on a movie and you're there.

272

Every day for say six weeks,

two months, just a happiness.

273

And the people like, Oh

my gosh, this is so good.

274

It's so healthy.

275

I feel so good.

276

And then you get all of the requests

and the, you know, craziness and the,

277

I had a, um, one guy, they wanted him

fed very, very well because he was the,

278

the, um, he was the cinematographer.

279

And they really wanted to make sure they

were like, he has a really strange diet.

280

He has a really strange diet.

281

And I'm like, what is it?

282

And it's like vegan paleo.

283

But, you know, I was able to come up with

things, you just do the plant Bay, you

284

know, you're just not doing high fats and

you're just doing the plant based thing.

285

And.

286

You know, he loved everything.

287

So it was really good.

288

That's fantastic.

289

And, and have you noticed that the

requests have changed over time?

290

Totally, totally.

291

Uh, uh, the requests have

totally changed over time.

292

And people are more aware and you get

some people that have really strange

293

ideas of what healthy diet or whatever.

294

And, you know, you just

kind of go with it.

295

And, and I also think, and I can only

speak from my personal experience that

296

the food's gotten a lot better too.

297

And I can tell you, when I first

started plant based food, somebody

298

asked me to do a dessert party.

299

And I was literally on the phone

with my mother crying, These vegans

300

are ruining my life, you know.

301

And I'm like, I mean, I'm a butter

and eggs and sugar and, you know.

302

I made one very successful

dessert out of about five.

303

And there was a little kid who literally

took a bite of the cookie and spit it

304

out and he said, Mommy, this is gross.

305

So I was watching all this going, Oh my

gosh, you have got to up level your game.

306

Now I think, Oh my gosh, that's so crazy.

307

But, um, you know, but we didn't

know, I mean, I was playing.

308

all the time with different concoctions

and different, you know, well, how do I

309

get a rise if I'm not using eggs and how

do I get the texture if I'm not using

310

butter and how do I get the, you know,

so it's practice, practice, practice.

311

So that's why the book is so

good because it's all the years

312

of practice and epic fails.

313

I mean, epic fails.

314

Uh, our family is such a, um, uh,

mixture of, um, I have a whole bunch

315

of allergies and we have vegetarians,

we have vegan, we have a FODMAP diet.

316

People who can't have, you

know, garlic and onion.

317

There's like four or five of

us who can't do gluten, and I'm

318

allergic to nuts, peanuts, and soy.

319

So, when you're trying to cook for this

group of people, it's We have little

320

signs on everything and, uh, you know,

this, this has this in it and this

321

doesn't have this in it and I've adapted

really, really well to being able to

322

cook without eggs, uh, for, I mean, we,

we still eat eggs, um, sometimes, but we

323

get them at the farm gate kind of thing.

324

Right, exactly.

325

And, uh, And when we do things like

birthday cake, I often will get the gluten

326

free cake mix and then we'll use an egg

replacer and oat milk and stuff like that.

327

And they still taste really good.

328

Um, but.

329

We're subbing out all the time and

we have what we call fake food.

330

So we have fake butter and we have

fake, you know, because you have

331

to, you know, when, when you have

that many variables going on and

332

on, we have to get really creative.

333

We cook a lot also and experiment a lot.

334

And it's a challenge,

but it's getting easier.

335

I find.

336

Yeah, one of the things I discovered

a few years ago is aquafaba.

337

Have you worked with that?

338

Aquafaba is great.

339

People thought I was crazy

and aquafaba is great.

340

It's a wonderful, wonderful

substitution for a lot of things.

341

Yeah, and it's, uh, yeah, it's amazing.

342

You want to tell people

what it is or something?

343

There's a hole.

344

What?

345

You go ahead.

346

You go ahead.

347

It's the, the juice that comes

from canned garbanzo beans and

348

it whips up like whipped cream.

349

It's incredible.

350

So you can sub that out for a

lot of things, you know, and make

351

and keep it really plant based.

352

Of course, I do mainly, um, fresh

beans, but I do buy cans of garbanzo

353

beans just for the aquafaba.

354

Yeah, we do the same.

355

Um, and they're sometimes called

chickpeas and, um, same thing.

356

Yeah.

357

And I've made meringues with them.

358

I haven't tried too many.

359

Um, I've made like, um, um,

what, what do you call that?

360

Where you have a giant meringue

and then you put custard and

361

you put the fruit on top of it.

362

Oh yeah.

363

Like a pavlova.

364

Yeah.

365

Oh, that's cool.

366

Pavlova and, yeah, it makes for a cool

dessert and most, you can't really tell.

367

No, it's crazy.

368

And when you tell people, then it's crazy.

369

Beans.

370

And, uh, you said you just

recently made something?

371

Um, yeah, that fake, you know,

well, see, there's that word again.

372

I should stop using that word, um,

cause it's all real food, but I recently

373

learned how to make, with, with plant

based food, there's a lot of processed

374

or manufactured things that you can

buy that are very quite expensive.

375

Mm hmm.

376

Okay.

377

And so there's a bit of a, you

know, should, should you spend

378

eight bucks on that thing?

379

Or, or if you're trying to

replicate something that is animal

380

based, what's the point, right?

381

Why are you trying to make fake meat?

382

Why are you trying to make fake eggs?

383

All this stuff.

384

There's a product that comes in a liquid

form and it looks like eggs and you can

385

pour it into a pan and make an omelet

with it and make other things with it.

386

And I recently found.

387

A do it yourself recipe on how to

make that and what it is is it's

388

soaked, um, split mung beans.

389

They're yellow mung beans and you soak

them overnight and then you put them

390

in a blender and you put plant based

milk in there and you put onion powder

391

and garlic powder and I forget what

else but and then you blender it and

392

I just keep it in a shaker bottle and

you can cook it up like like an egg

393

patty in your frying pan or you can

stir fry with vegetables like an omelet.

394

And it actually is pretty amazing.

395

It's got turmeric in it to make it

yellow, but it's when you spend 8 on

396

buying a little container of this stuff

that probably has preservatives in

397

it, you know, I made it for a couple.

398

Um, the recipe is the, the, the

store bought stuff is called

399

just egg, but you can make it.

400

yourself.

401

And I found this just egg, uh, homemade

recipe that works out really well.

402

So we just keep it in the fridge and

the kids that can't have eggs make

403

themselves lunches and quite like it.

404

And it's beans, so it's

got to be good for you.

405

Right.

406

Yeah, that's so fun.

407

That's really fun.

408

Yeah.

409

Do you have a favorite recipe you

wouldn't mind sharing or telling us about?

410

Oh my goodness Well, you know, I'm

California so You know, we have or so

411

so blessed here to have such an array

of local We have seasonal things but

412

We can grow a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot.

413

And I have a garden here in my home,

there's a garden at the school that

414

the kids, um, have classes in, and

You know, we have, uh, farmer's

415

markets all over Southern California.

416

I mean, every day of the week, you

can go to one part of the city and

417

find a farmer's market or two or

three, but I, you know, anything with

418

the avocado is really fun for me.

419

So the guacamoles, the avocado toast.

420

I have a whole chapter of, of toasts

and toast is my jam in the book because

421

it's easy to feed like a lot of people

with a lot of allergies and preferences.

422

You know, you could do like an

avocado toast bar or, you know.

423

I have a plant based ricotta, so

there's a ricotta and jam toast.

424

So you can have your, feed a lot of

people with all different kinds of food,

425

unless you've got that one occasional

person who's allergic to avocado.

426

And mainly it's a texture thing, I think.

427

But, um, yeah, so I think that, um,

One go to and then the stir fries

428

are great, you know, whatever fresh

vegetables you have Amazing, you know

429

and and I don't know about Vancouver.

430

You probably have pretty good produce as

well Don't you because you're West Coast?

431

So yeah, I mean, yeah, we have Yeah.

432

Just about everything.

433

Yeah.

434

Just, it's really a, a beautiful

thing because you can get

435

all kinds of great stuff.

436

Do you have a lot of farmer's markets?

437

We have a fair number.

438

Yeah.

439

And they run some, like

there's, there's some that are

440

running, um, through the winter.

441

It's, it's more of a summer

thing, but we do have some that

442

are running through the winter.

443

Some of the things that are very popular

are all different kinds of wild mushrooms.

444

Oh yeah.

445

Um.

446

Yeah.

447

Um, I know there's people that, you know,

I know are like, Oh, I have to get to

448

the farmer's market for my big thing of

mushrooms, you know, some of the foresty

449

type things, but yeah, there's quite a few

farmers markets here and they're finding,

450

you know, I don't know a whole lot about

it yet because it's kind of new in my

451

world, but they're finding out a lot of

healing properties of different mushrooms.

452

brain food and all kinds

of different things.

453

So it's really interesting to me.

454

Um, the mushroom situation, we've

got a couple of mushroom guys at

455

the farmers market and they're very

passionate about their mushrooms.

456

It's really cool.

457

It's really cool.

458

And also, you know, this time of

year, the citron is really good, you

459

know, and plentiful and persimmons

and All kinds of great fun apples.

460

And before we head into the summer,

yeah, what do you have in your garden?

461

Well, right now we, we still, we

have had some tomato bushes that have

462

lasted, you know, we usually plant

every year, but I'm still getting

463

tomatoes up about four plants.

464

And, um, I have a fig tree.

465

I have a lemon tree, a Meyer lemon tree.

466

Um, I have broccoli,

cauliflower, artichokes.

467

So now we're kind of in

the process, because around

468

March 17th is when you start.

469

Planting your summer garden here and

where I am, so we're kind of in the

470

process of pulling stuff out and cleaning,

but it's amazing that we still have

471

tomatoes and lots of them and they're

delicious, you know, it's like we're

472

all so surprised, okay, but yeah, and

it, you know, we have had, have had some

473

super winter gardens where we do the

kales and the spinach and all that stuff.

474

This year, we just didn't have

enough time to really put into

475

it, so we kind of just kept.

476

things going and, and um, uh, have

a olive tree, which is really fun

477

that I bought like when it was this

big and now it's huge and beautiful.

478

Um, I actually bought it at Trader

Joe's like four years, five years ago

479

and it was so pretty, just a little

teeny thing and it just is planted.

480

It's so big and beautiful.

481

And I have about 10 raised beds

that we just, they'll, we'll start

482

planting the zucchinis, the squashes.

483

I have a friend who's cultivated

all these different peppers and he's

484

giving us little seedlings for that.

485

So, you know, it's fun to be in a garden

community where you can, um, trade seeds

486

and trade stories and trade, you know.

487

Um, my best friend in San Francisco,

who is a master gardener, um, Lisa,

488

she has all this stuff, but most

of the stuff that she grows is very

489

different from what I can grow.

490

But it's, it's a really interesting

to the stuff that we kind of common.

491

She can't do tomatoes because The

weather just doesn't permit it.

492

So it's too cold.

493

So yeah, so I mean, it's great.

494

Yeah.

495

It's really good.

496

So if you were going to invite,

um, our listeners to do something

497

different this week in the kitchen,

um, or in the grocery store, what is

498

it that you would invite them to do?

499

What's, what's easy?

500

What's easy?

501

Alright, what I would invite

is to just go pick out whatever

502

favorite veggies you have.

503

So let's just do a salad and

let's do, you know, I used to

504

tell my daughter it doesn't matter

what vegetables go into a salad.

505

She's like, well, I don't like lettuce.

506

Okay, let's do a salad without lettuce.

507

Okay, you know, so, you know,

and then take what you like.

508

Like, I, I like a little

bit of a sweeter dressing.

509

So if you were to take some garlic, a

little bit of Dijon mustard, a little

510

splash of maple syrup, then a little

splash of balsamic vinegar and some olive

511

oil, you have a really full flavored

vinaigrette that takes all the flavors.

512

Literally seconds to whip up.

513

You can do it in a little jelly jar and

just shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.

514

And it emulsifies it.

515

So then it's got some, some weight to it.

516

So it feels like it's a really

intense dressing, but it's delicious.

517

Or honey mustard.

518

I mean, I love, you know, we have

a honey person at our farmer's

519

market that we get all of our honey

from and, you know, a little bit of

520

mustard and honey, um, olive oil.

521

And, uh, it's just amazing.

522

Really good.

523

I use a little, um, maybe rice wine

vinegar to kind of balance it out.

524

But really simple, you know,

simple is sometimes really good.

525

I knew I was going to, uh, get hungry

after talking to you at this time of day.

526

It's like 20 to 5 in the evening.

527

Dinner time!

528

That's right.

529

That's right.

530

It's like, Oh no, I'm going to have to go

make something delicious now after that.

531

Well, this has been really great

having this conversation with you.

532

And, um, and I think that's,

that's helpful for people picking

533

out your favorite and giving them

permission to just, just play with

534

food until you find what works.

535

Absolutely.

536

100%.

537

Absolutely.

538

Yeah.

539

That's, that's your permission.

540

That's, I charge you with going out.

541

That's your charge.

542

Go out and play with your food.

543

Have some fun.

544

I love it.
