Hollan Hawaii is an expert in vegan plant-based food and cleanses. As a Le  Cordon Bleu trained chef, health advocate, former restaurant owner, and mom  of three, she has worn many hats in this life, but she knows the one that matters  most is her relationship with herself and her body. When those two are aligned,  everything falls into place, and she can be a better mother and chef. Hollan has  been on her own health journey for 13 years and loves sharing her perspective  and experience with food that led her to be in charge of her own health.

Good Food Gratitude is Hollan’s plant-based lifestyle cookbook that also  encourages people to change the way to perceive healthy food. Hollan knows  how much work it is to make sure you and your family are eating healthy foods,  so her recipes are fast, affordable, easy, and healthy. True to her family-friendly  beach-inspired lifestyle and aesthetics, Hollan lives on the beautiful garden isle  of Kauai and enjoys spending time in the kitchen, with family and friends, and  in the rejuvenating waters of the Pacific Ocean.
