Vegan Danielle is the Podcast Producer at the Specialty Produce Network . Join Danielle on her own podcast which includes All Things Vegan – from vegan chefs to doctors, and hair-stylists to non-profits.
Danielle was born in Riverside, California and grew up in the small town of Wrightwood, California — home of Mountain High Ski Resort. Her first job was ironically flipping burgers at McDonald’s when she was 14 years old. During the winter season she also worked in the kitchen at Mountain High serving pizza and cashiering. Since then she has moved all around California, but has called San Diego her permanent home since 2012.
Danielle has always been a fan of cooking — in fact her maternal grandfather was a chef. She remember as a young girl cooking with him in the kitchen for hours at a time. Her grandfather passed away when she was very young, but she continued to cook with other family members. She has been working in restaurants since her first job at McDonald’s. In 2015, after watching a few documentaries, she decided to go vegan, which prompted her to dive into vegan cooking. She is still not a professional chef, nor has she had any professional training, however, she has found a love for creating healthy vegan recipes, and has created a site to share them with you!
In early 2017, Danielle was trained as a cook by Top Chef, Angelo Sosa at Greens Please in Poway. Her goal was to attend culinary school, but before that happened, she was offered a position at Specialty Produce as the podcast producer/editor. She continues to work with Specialty Produce today, both producing podcasts and creating vegan recipes using products from the store.
