Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Email & Phone Number

Whether I’m teaching, writing, cooking, traveling, hiking, or spending time with loved ones, my life and work are rooted in compassion and joy. I've dedicated the last 24 years to normalizing compassion for animals (and each other), to celebrating the joys and benefits of consuming plants over animals, and to examining the ways in which how we talk about and think about other animals affects and reflects our treatment of them. A long-time animal advocate and vegan, I have written seven books (currently writing my 8th), I have been producing one of the longest running podcasts (Food for Thought) for 17 years, I am a regular contributor to National Public Radio, and I host all-inclusive sustainable vegan trips around the world.I'm grateful to have guided and inspired tens of thousands of people to live as compassionately, healthfully, and deliciously as possible through my cookbooks, lifestyle books, podcasts, public lectures, videos, conferences, online courses, cooking classes, recipes, op-eds, articles, TV and radio appearances, and TEDx talk. 🏆 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬:I've been honored to receive acclaim as the author of seven bestselling books, such as "The Joy of Vegan Baking" and "The 30-Day Vegan Challenge," collectively touching the lives of thousands.
