In Episode #32, I sat down with world-renowned vegan chef Gaz Oakley to discuss his story and rise to stardom over the past three years. Since early 2016, Gaz has taken social media by storm with his avant-garde cooking displays on YouTube and Instagram, amassing a combined following of over 700,000 people.

Gaz has phenomenal talent, a bright future ahead, and is as humble and genuine as they come. In our conversation, Gaz took me through his journey so far, including how he developed a passion for cooking, where he crafted his skills, and why he took a hiatus from the cooking industry at one stage to work in labour and sales. Of course, we cover his transition to a plant-based diet and what inspired that, as well as how he comes up with the inspiration for his recipes. Oh, and he drops some news about a secret collaboration with a huge restaurant on air! You can connect with Gaz on Instagram @gazoakley and YouTube to see his amazing food with your own eyes.

Enjoy, friends.
