Welcome to Beantown Kitchen!
Hi! I’m Diana, a vegan chef, author of the award-winning Plants For You cookbook, Sierra Club cooking show host, and Plant-based Culinary Nutrition Educator based in Boston.
Since launching Beantown Kitchen in 2013, I’ve been teaching others how to prepare delicious and nutritious plant-based foods to enjoy and share with family and friends.
Plants For You Cookbook
I designed the award-winning Plants For You cookbook to help you discover the joy of preparing meals that are not only flavorful, satisfying and highly nutritious but also contribute to a healthier planet. From eco-friendly ingredient choices to steps to simplify the plant-based prep process, this cookbook is a guide to a health-promoting and sustainable way of living. As a bonus you’ll find QR codes in the book, that link to videos to support your journey.
