Description

Episode 05 of the Plant Proof Podcast with Peter Cervoni
Chef Peter Cervoni is a veteran of the food service industry, and brings with him well over 30 years
of proven, professional culinary experience to the realm of plant-based, health-supportive cuisine.
Peter graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1993, and after an apprenticeship at The
Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, FL, Peter worked at some of New York City's finest restaurants,
including The River Café and La Cote Basque.

After experiencing what can only be described as an epiphany leading to his paradigmatic switch to
become vegan 21 years ago, Peter devoted all his talent and energy to plant-based and health supportive
cuisine. Since that time Peter has worked at the helm of top New York City vegan
restaurants, such as Angelica Kitchen, Quintessence and Organic Avenue in addition to consulting
for many others.

Besides being a chef, Peter has held almost every job imaginable in the culinary world from food
writer for Vegetarian Times, to food stylist and culinary educator. As a restaurant consultant and
recipe formulator, Chef Peter has traveled extensively in North and Central America and Europe to
help bring the message of Veganism to the world.

Join show host and nutritionist Simon Hill as he sits down with doctors, nutritionists, dieticians, athletes and inspiring people challenging the status quo and making positive change in the world. By breaking down the science, and listening to their stories and wisdom, together we can become more mindful and conscious of how we are living and the impact our food choices have on our health, the planet's health and all of those that we share it with. Importantly, in a world where diet has become very divisive Simon has created a safe space to talk about nutrition without judgement. Eat meat or dairy? That's perfectly fine! Contrary to the stereotypical view of vegans, Simon encourages celebration of anyone taking the time to learn more about the food they put other plate. It's not an all or nothing move. While this show is very much about bringing out the knowledge of the wonderful guests it's also good to know you are in good hands - Simon has a Bachelors degree in Physiotherapy, a Masters degree in Nutrition, is Certified in Plant Based Nutrition and is committed to bringing you agenda free information. In addition Simon is writing a book that will be published by Penguin early 2021 - with 100% of his proceeds being donated to charities selected by the Plant Proof community. To connect with Simon on socials you can find him on Instagram and Twitter @plant_proof.
