I love being a giver because it brings me happiness every time I give. Giving is something I’ve consistently done throughout my life. I see that Gather55 shares the same values, and it makes me so happy and excited to share my recipes as I’ve never shared them with anyone in America before. This is the first time, and I feel so happy and excited to share the food from Thailand with everyone through Gather55.
When I first became vegan, it was difficult to find good vegan food. We were poor so I had to cook with what I had or what I could find that was not expensive. My children were young, so I had to make sure they liked my food and that I could make it quickly. Being able to volunteer and give back to show people that Vegan food really is good makes me happy. I love when customers say to me, ‘I didn’t even know your food was vegan’. I look forward to Gather55 customers hopefully being just as surprised!
