Vedge Your Best, Vegan Ideas for Everyone At Any Age

253: Plant-Based Cooking As An Act of Personal Liberation: Chef Day Radley from The Vegan Chef School


Listen Later

What if your kitchen could be the starting point for personal liberation?

This week on Vedge Your Best, Chef Day Radley joins Michele to talk about how cooking plant-based isn’t just about what’s on the plate—it’s about reclaiming agency, aligning with your values, and discovering what’s possible in midlife and beyond.

Founder of The Vegan Chef School in London, Day shares how a pink flyer at a protest changed her life, why she created one of the UK’s first plant-based chef training programs, and how so many of her students are reinventing themselves through food.

Whether you’re a seasoned vegan, newly plant-curious, or simply wondering if it’s too late to learn something new—this episode will meet you right where you are.

In this episode:

  • How food choices reflect personal power

  • Why midlife is the perfect time to start something new

  • What Day teaches her students beyond just recipes

  • How vegan cooking is gaining ground in the private chef world

  • The unexpected creative advantage of British food culture

  • Why Day refuses to count calories—and what she teaches instead
