Created and developed the concept, mission, business model, and culinary attractions for Veganer's Luck, LLC."Veganer's Luck (pronounced like "beginner's luck") is a hands-on, interactive, IN-PERSON vegan cooking experience. The company's mission isn't to convert clients to veganism, but to debunk the myth that it is "hard" to maintain. The primary goal is to revive the lost art of face-to-face human interaction. Using its proprietary engaging business model, Veganer's Luck is both entertaining and educational with scrumptious dishes being a bonus. Experiences are personalized and curated in formats for small groups of six to eight people (three courses) and one-on-one meal prep guidance (5-Day plan). Our unique culinary approach is perfect for livening up a small gathering with friends, at-home dinner parties, and even team-building for small businesses."
