Posh Green Life Gourmet was birthed through my journey to losing weight and leading a healthier lifestyle. I started researching dietary lifestyles and I was fascinated by the plant-based and vegan diets. I started trying out different recipes and I was amazed by the taste and the fact that I can use plants based ingredients to create delicious dishes.

I was fearful of jumping head-on into the lifestyle, so I made baby steps and started incorporating these meals into my lifestyle bit by bit. I quickly found out that following a plant-based lifestyle and living in Barbados came with challenges. Finding gourmet items such as cheese was not only expensive but hard to find. Eating out was another challenge, as there were not a lot of restaurants offering plant-based or vegan meals on their menus. Nevertheless, I was determined to follow this lifestyle.

I started bringing in ingredients from Amazon and sourced whatever I could find locally and I began creating various plant-based dishes, with my own twist. I would take pictures of the dishes I created and I would be in awe of how the dishes came out and how delicious they were. I said to myself, I could blog about this, provide recipes, source ingredients for people locally who are following the lifestyle and finding it challenging to source the ingredients and so much more and so I started Posh Green Life Gourmet.
