Miranda's YouTube Interview by Author and Chef Paul Nison

Raw Vegan Author and Chef Paul Nison came to Dallas last week for a talk. This is the second time Paul makes it to Dallas and asks me to help him organize his talk.

While he was here he visited Bliss Raw Cafe a couple of times and interviewed me. We chatted about my weight loss, being raw, and whether I recommend 100% raw vegan diet.

I'm thrilled to participate on this interview with Paul.

Miranda's Raw Epicurean Interview & Giveaway

Check out an interview I did in The Raw Epicurean blog. I am honored that Ingrid Weithers-Barati interviewed me for this feature blog post.

Here's an excerpt of the interview:

"Meet Miranda Martinez, a Latina beauty who is an enterprising entrepreneur with oodles of enthusiasm and passion for the theatrical and culinary arts. She is an aspiring actress, a producer, and a raw vegan speaker, author, chef and superfood retailer.

Embracing a raw vegan lifestyle has proved to be a beneficial chose for Miranda, which she talks about in the interview. She also talks about who has influenced her on this journey, about loving her work at Bliss Raw Café, staple items you might find in her kitchen, her dream role as an actress, and much more.

Enjoy the interview!

Ingrid Weithers-Barati: We both delved into the raw vegan diet the same year, in 2007. Since that time, how has this diet affect your overall well-being and lifestyle?

Miranda Martinez: Becoming raw vegan has made an big difference for me! For the first time in my adult life I have been able to keep my ideal weight easily (lost over 60 lbs), I have increased energy and vitality, my skin looks amazing, my LDL cholesterol has stayed down, I have made great friends and have met amazing people. I am very happy I made the transition.

IWB: What was your eating history before going raw, and which junk food addition has raw food helped you overcome?

MM: I was a omnivore...BIG TIME! Before my transition to raw, I ate everything I wanted and, even though I had pretty much done every weight loss diet imaginable, I hadn't done any research about vegetarians or vegans. I was a food addict, period. I loved all kinds of different foods, but I had more challenges with breads, cheeses, chips and sweets."

Raw Epicurean: Miranda Martinez Interview & Giveaway

I'm Featured as "January Heroine Entrepreneur" in Chocolate Orchid's Blog

Check me out in a featured interview in Chocolate Orchid's blog. I was deeply honored when Cheris Courtney asked to interview me for this feature blog post. Here's an excerpt of the interview:

"According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary:
Heroine -1 a: a mythological or legendary woman having the qualities of a hero b: a woman admired and emulated for her achievements and qualities.

According to YourDictionary.com:
a girl or woman of outstanding courage, nobility, etc., or of heroic achievements

Meet this month's Heroine Entrepreneur, Miranda Martinez

Miranda has her own online store, is a raw vegan chef, superfood retailer, actress, producer, speaker, and author. Whew! You do it, girl! =)

1) What sparked the development of your business? How did you begin?
"I am a raw vegan chef which is how it started. Well...okay. Have you read my story about me losing weight and everything? So fast forward two years cause it's been two years since I lost the weight. At my heaviest, I was 205 lbs. My total lost has been 80+ lbs. I was up and down for awhile. Since I became raw vegan, I've lost over 60 lbs. So fast forward two years, our first raw vegan restaurant in town (Dallas) called Bliss Raw Café opened. And at the same time, I already had an e-book that I had published online myself. I had recipes in there. And I published my tips and things that helped me when I was losing the weight."

So I applied for a server position. And I eventually ended up making desserts that people loved. I ended up being the dessert chef for Bliss Raw Café. So after that, the owner was revamping the menu. So she asked me to contribute to the menu as well. So a lot of the new menu items are my creation.

It was more like the owner said, "You know. I would love to have an Italian tasting pizza or a Greek tasting pizza." So then, I would research what the flavor and the spices were for that particular cooked version of the pizza. I eliminated everything that was cooked along with the animal product. And we came up with a version of a pizza for that particular flavor that she wanted on the menu. So the new menu has a Greek pizza, Margherita pizza, a California pizza...You can actually look at and download the menu from the website Blissrawcafe.com. A lot of the new menu items are my creation."
