Show 80 Tanya Arnold (Lotta Love Plant-Based Cooking)
Welcome to ALTBAYS Show (feat. Leo Magri)
Meet Tanya Arnold
You can always smell good cooking, but what if you can’t see it? It’s a problem that Tanya Arnold knows all too well. Being diagnosed as a child with keratoconus, a disorder of the eye that results in progressive thinning of the cornea, you would think the last thing she would be doing is chopping up vegetables with a large, sharp knife.
While recovering at home after a third cornea transplant, Tanya’s husband suggested they register to operate a food business from home. She wasn’t going to let her eyesight be a problem. She has learnt to adapt by relying on her other senses to get by, and she organises her kitchen in a way that she knows by memory where everything is.
When Tanya stumbled across the recipes of Cynthia Louise, a well-known whole food chef specialising in vegan dishes, she was inspired to make her new business venture plant-based, despite not being vegan herself.
Enjoy this great chat about how food is our bodies' real medicine.
