"If you think you can’t fall in love with food, try a conscious meal from Patricia. Her creations are surely amongst the best of what the gourmet raw vegan cuisine can offer."
--Sebastian Zösch, CEO, Vegetarierbund Deutschland (German Vegetarian Union)
“From the onset, The Vegan Gourmet Chef captured my attention. It was a rare mix of unwavering loyalty to the vegan diet and all it means: sustainability, balance, harmony on this planet and her incredible skills as a chef that I found fascinating. All of course in a young mind, healthy spirit and mindful body that clearly illustrated that she lived her motto. A new product, the notoriously delicious vegan Chicake was my first encounter with food from her hands. We went of course to produce a documentary featuring one of her signature dishes, the making of a “High –tea but vegan only!” to a complete demonstration in an office setting presented to 37 employees marking Earth Day 2008.”
Indeed The Vegan Gourmet Chef did it all with brio…and gusto! You gain to know her.

"Amazing is the word I would use to describe Gourmet Vegan Chef's food. It
takes many ingredients to make a wonderful dish and Patricia has them all.
From the moment you set your eyes on the dish, the presentation alone, let's
you know that you will be in for a treat. Her abilities as a chef are only
rivaled by her charming personality. Although your mouth will be thanking
you, she will ensure that each bite is served to perfection.
Everything from the green leafy salads to the ice cold desserts, is
incredibly healthy. Not only does it taste great, but your body feels alive
after the meal. So whether you're having an intimate night out for two, a
dinner party or a large event, her food will be a wonderful addition or as
in most cases an attraction.
It takes more than just ingredients to make a wonderful meal. Patricia
creates her specialties with passion. Passion for the ingredients, passion
for the environment and passion for her guests of honour."
--Rahim K., Designer, Vancouver, BC, Canada
"I was fortunate to be invited to a series of special gourmet raw vegan three course meals prepared by Patricia during the summer of 2009. I didn't miss a single meal -- the food was creative, tasty, and satisfying -- and on top of this, the next day after each dinner, I'd wake up full of positive healthy energy that served me well as I attempted to create a better world for myself and others. I enjoyed Patricia's creations so much that her food has been featured on www.eatrawvegan.com on several occasions and has proved to be among the more popular content on that site. Beyond just the pleasure that Patricia's flavourful and colourful food provides to the eyes and palate, she is an all-round good person who's company I enjoy immensely. I am grateful to have met her and to have had the opportunity to share her wonderful food with my friends."
--Marcus Emmanuel Barnes of http://www.eatrawvegan.com
"I have had the pleasure of eating (and photographing) several organic raw vegan meals created by the talented Chef Patricia Ganswind. My friends and I could hardly believe that the delicious food we ate was indeed raw vegan, as it looked and tasted so good - a true gourmet meal! Chef Patricia Ganswind is also a very kind and caring person with high integrity and it shows through in her work."
-Geoff Peters, jazz pianist, software developer, and photographer from Vancouver, Canada.
"Patricia is the most talented delicious raw goddess. The chocolate and fruit cakes, cashew broccoli quiches, and everything I have ever tasted made me drool and want her as a personal chef. If Patricia is coming to a potluck, you better make sure you are there early. She is so generous, open hearted and has a healing touch with all that she marks. She is an inspiration to me as a raw vegan. I love her dearly!"
--Roxy Faye, Angel Readings & Reiki Healing
"Wishing you and Paul all the best in New Zealand:
A lot of success by moving people to respect their environment by eating more vegan etc. Also a lot of love and health - keep going!"
--Nikos Mitkas, Munich, Germany
