Why Nomad Cooks is so great is that they have a range of chefs from plant-based to exquisite french cuisines and would cater for any event at any price.

This week I'm joined by Dafna, Founder of Indie Bay Snacks. Indie Bay is a pretzel snacking company which create snacks with benefits by using healthy ingredients such as spelt.During this episode with Dafna I wanted to talk about the snack market as a whole as well as what they are achieving and aiming for at Indie Bay. The snack market has changed dramatically as we are all snacking more and more and with that comes "healthy snacks" and "unhealthy snacks". However, what might be labelled as "healthy" could be questionable. Therefore, as one of the unique aspects of Indie Bay is using ancient grain ingredients, I wanted to discuss with Dafna her view on the market and what really translates to healthy.We also discuss many other topics such as:- The Indie Bay Journey- Why and How Indie Bay Started- Finding Balance as a Founder and a Mother - Journalling - Meditation- Plant-BasedTo find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head over to www.greedyvegan.uk or check us out on Instagram @greedyveganltdTo find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.
