Joanne Lee Molinaro, author of The Korean Vegan Cookbook, shares her journey from being a lawyer to pursuing her passion for food and creating a plant-based lifestyle. She discusses the fear and resistance to change, the importance of evolving and embracing creativity, and the liberation that comes from breaking free from the status quo. Joanne also talks about the influence of her immigrant parents and their emphasis on academic success, the challenges of navigating cultural identity and shame, and the process of finding her true voice and authentic self. She shares her experience of transitioning from a legal career to becoming a food blogger and cookbook author, and the role of photography in her creative expression. Joanne explains her decision to adopt a plant-based diet for health reasons and the initial difficulties of finding vegan options in Korean cuisine. She talks about the challenges of veganizing traditional Korean dishes and the importance of finding alternatives to animal-based ingredients.
