Gillian Purkiss
Gillian is right here in my hometown of Orillia, Ontario. She’s a certified health coach and a raw food chef. I’ve tasted many of Gillian’s delicious creations, and have been to a few of her seminars and cooking demonstrations, such as how to make your own Lärabars—my favourite snack. She makes this amazing onion ‘bread’ in a dehydrator. If grains aren’t your friend, this bread is a must try.
Gillian has a variety of services but her most popular is her 90 Days to Wholeness program. This program is a great option if you’re serious about optimizing your health for the long-term.
Gillian also provides many recipes and her blog offers helpful tips.
Megan Kerry
Megan’s recipe index is divided into breakfasts, mains, soups and desserts categories. Megan also helps other plant-based brands with photography, videography, and social media campaigns among other services.
Megan offers a 90-Day Elevate & Evolve Health Coaching Program, and she’s the host of the Plant-Based Health for Women Facebook Community. Click here for her website.

Brittany and William, based in Alberta, have built a detailed resource page on I Love Vegan and it’s a great place to start for the new vegan, or for those who want to explore this lifestyle.

Their recipe index is well structured and comprehensive. They even have a section for holiday recipes that even the non-vegans in your life are sure to enjoy.
