How does a classically trained French chef turn into one of the most popular vegan recipe developers on Facebook? Ask Jean-Philippe Cyr, The Buddhist Chef. He’s made a name for himself not by whipping up thousands of mediocre recipes, but by creating carefully crafted, reliable meals, and doing so in a mindful way. We frequently share Jean-Philippe’s recipes in the Academy newsletter, so when we had the chance to bring him on the podcast to discuss his food philosophy, it was a no-brainer. In today’s episode, Jean-Philippe Cyr shares his take on maximizing flavors, mindfulness, and why it’s important to keep recipes simple in order to grow this community.
