NEKED FOOD
Vanessa Jarvis-Findlay is the Founder of NEKED Food, a Celebrity Vegan Chef, Author, SAMA-winning Executive Music Producer, Cooking Show Host, Cancer Survivor, Wife, Dog Mom, and Culinary Rebel.
Vanessa Jarvis-Findlay turned her spiritual awakening and love for animals into a five-star vegan movement. Her multi-award-winning Clarens restaurant, NEKED Food, was named one of South Africa’s Top 100 Restaurants by the Restaurant Association of South Africa (RASA) for both years of its trading, not in a vegan category, mind you, but against over 35,000 establishments. Now retired from service, NEKED Food is transforming into a creative brand that will soon launch:
-
Limited edition collector’s vegan cookbooks
-
A cheeky, celeb-studded vegan cooking show
-
A no-apron-required YouTube channel
