Chef AJ – Plant-Based Pioneer, Chef, Author & Speaker

Chef AJ has been a devoted chef, culinary instructor, and advocate of a plant-exclusive lifestyle for over 47 years. She was the host of the television series Healthy Living with CHEF AJ, which aired on Foody TV, and a highly sought-after chef, culinary instructor and professional speaker.  She has authored four bestselling books: Sweet Indulgence, The Secrets to Ultimate Weight Loss: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquer Cravings, Overcome Food Addiction, and Lose Weight Without Going Hungry, Own Your Health, and The 10th Anniversary Edition of Unprocessed.

Her work has earned glowing endorsements from leading voices in the plant-based movement and continues to inspire thousands to embrace a healthier way of eating.  Chef AJ was the Executive Pastry Chef at Santé Restaurant in Los Angeles, where she was renowned for her vegan, sugar-free, oil-free, salt-free, and gluten-free desserts—made exclusively with fruit, the whole fruit, and nothing but the whole fruit.  Beyond the kitchen, she hosts a thriving YouTube channel with nearly 250,000 subscribers, where she interviews top experts in health, nutrition, and plant-based living while sharing delicious and nutritious recipes. In 2018, she was honored with induction into the Vegetarian Hall of Fame—a distinction she proudly celebrates by saying that her IQ is higher than her cholesterol.
