Episode 15 of the Plant Proof Podcast with Vegan Chef Derek Sarno talking about his journey to choosing a life of compassion
Derek Sarno is one of the world's most well known Vegan Chef's.  Derek is one half of the Wicked Healthy team and heads up plant based product innovation for British grocery giant Tesco.  While visiting London I caught up with Derek at his place and saw first hand how much love and energy he puts into the food that he creates - just take one look at his instagram and you will see what I mean!  This guy is seriously creative, seriously compassionate and seriously switched on when it comes to changing the landscape of healthy grocery food.

Derek's earlier years and diet as a child
How Derek became a chef and how his career has progressed
Why Derek turned to substance abuse during a time of immense grieving
How Derek ended up spending time at a Buddhist Monastery and the positive impact this had on his life
His transition to a vegan diet and the inspiration behind this
How Derek handles the highs and lows that life has thrown at him
