“When I was 5 or 6 years old I made this connection that the duck that we’d just eaten was flapping around in our backyard just a few hours earlier… and I remember thinking, this is odd.”
-Rachel Steenland - Founder, The Plant Riot
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the amazing Rachel Steenland. Rachel (and her husband, Dr. Andrew Pow) is the woman behind the super popular plant-based recipe brand The Plant Riot. We talk about how a family duck that ended up on the dinner table as a child in Australia made her first ask questions about food, how when she first went vegan she didn’t quite get it right from a health perspective, why she started The Plant Riot, how she has grown The Plant Riot to over 160,000 followers on Instagram, her personal experience with emotional eating and weight related health issues, why with a little preparation plant-based eating is not difficult, what she recommends for trying to shift to a more plant-based diet, and why she’s on a mission to show people how to make all of their favorite recipes plant-based.

I had Andris Lagsdin on the show recently, episode 95. I have been crushing vegan pizzas at home since I bought his product, Baking Steel. It’s a steel slab that you put in your oven, and because steel conducts heat so well, you can literally make a Neapolitan or New York style pizza in 3-4 minutes with the perfect crust. It’s like you now have a commercial pizza oven. The pic above is the killer Baking Steel dough (you can order if you’re local to Boston!) with Miyoko’s vegan mozzarella! You can also bake breads and all kinds of stuff. You can even throw it over your stove burners and use it as a skillet and make Beyond burgers or JUST eggs and Beyond sausage. I have never had a sponsor on the show before this. I truly just love this product and Andris so much that I want to share it!
