The Green Gourmet

Where did it all begin? 

Hi, I’m Andrea, aka The Green Gourmet. 

Growing up in Thailand, I was inspired by the Buddhist vegetarians I met: their deep respect for the earth, their bodies and all living beings — and the deliciously nourishing food they created.   

I became, and still am, fascinated by the traditional wisdom of Indigenous food cultures: their plant-led style of eating, use of local seasonal ingredients, the important role of food as medicine, and the way food connects family and community.  

I knew that, one day, my life’s work would revolve around these themes and my love of storytelling.
