    Would like to connect by email. Don’t have Facebook or anything like it. Have been vegan 34 years. Live in Long Beach Andean wondering if you do anything closer to there. Have no idea where north port is. Would like to take a day or too off from cooking. Thanks very much. Robyn

    Hi Elyse! I used to go to Batata just to get your amazing vegan food! Your recipes have changed my whole experience with food. I love how fresh everything can be. I feel great after eating those dank Buddha Bowls. You rock! I am a huge fan. Thank you for sharing your skills with the vegan community.
