Meet Ali Magee 💚

We’re so excited to welcome Ali to the EcoCooks team! She’s kicking off a brand-new recipe series featuring vibrant, plant-forward dishes that are simple, nourishing, and packed with flavour! 🍲

The first recipe in Ali's new series drops tomorrow — trust us, you’ll want to save these! 😋 Here’s a glimpse into her eco-inspired world: 👇🏽

🌱 Q: What is your go-to EcoRecipe?
🌱 A: Banana-bread cookies with every add-in imaginable! 🍪

🌱 Q: How often do you make it?
🌱 A: Every single week (or... several times a week)

🌱 Q: What is your favourite planet-saving tip? 🌍
🌱 A: This is a toss up, because I immediately want to say "don't throw away your broccoli stems!"... but I think my favourite tip has to be: consign and buy second hand clothing whenever you can- there is nothing better than saving the planet while also saving a dollar!

🌱 Q: Tell us more about yourself! 👩🏽‍🍳
🌱 A: Hi, I'm Ali! A former plant-based café owner, and a current student in the Health and Exercise Science program at UBC Okanagan. During my time running the café, I co-published a cookbook that reflects my passion for creating nourishing, accessible food from plants. I’m deeply interested in the connection between food, health, and community, and I enjoy sharing plant-forward cooking as a way to support wellbeing and sustainability. Through EcoCooks, I hope to inspire others to explore the possibilities of plant-based food and its positive impact on people and the planet! ✨
