Capítulo 72: In this episode of Ocu-Pasión, we had the pleasure of hosting Jocelyn Ramirez, a true powerhouse in the world of plant-based cuisine and a fervent advocate for healthy food access. Jocelyn's journey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to her roots and the fusion of cultural flavors with plant-based nutrition. As a plant-based chef, published cookbook author, and New York Times recipe contributor, she has left an indelible mark on the culinary landscape.
At the heart of our conversation was Jocelyn's first cookbook, "La Vida Verde: Plant-Based Mexican Cooking with Authentic Flavor." It's no surprise that this cookbook became an instant best-seller, as it beautifully marries the vibrant and rich flavors of Mexican cuisine with plant-based ingredients. We delved into the inspiration behind the book and how it serves as a bridge between tradition and healthy living.
Additionally, Jocelyn unveiled her newly launched product line, culturally relevant seasonings in flavors like carnitas, al pastor, and tinga. These seasonings are an extension of her brand, Todo Verde, and mark a significant step in bringing the essence of plant-based Mexican cuisine to a wider audience. Beyond her culinary creations, Jocelyn's dedication to the community shines through her workshops, dialogues, and food demonstrations, where she imparts knowledge on healthy living and the cultural significance of food.
