A Fresh Start in Healthy Cooking

We love Virginia’s adventurous spirit, gourmet sensibilities, and appreciation for plant-based recipes. Here at AFFAIRS to REMEMBER, we are dedicated to creating delicious plant-based food not only for its wonderful flavors and health benefits but also to meet the needs of our clients.

Plant-based diets have been proven to produce less greenhouse gas emissions, reduce water consumption, require less energy for production, and reduce overall pollution. Eating green is also becoming more popular; for example, 14% of our orders are plant-based.

We loved Virginia’s latest cookbook “Fresh Start” and are sure you will too!
