Marcel TrotterGreetings, I'm Marcel Trotter, and I'm passionate about vegan cuisine! I've been working in restaurants, in one form or another, for most of my life. At the age of 12, I started out helping wash dishes at a club that my parents belonged to, and the rythm and pulse of working in a busy kitchen began to get in my blood. I would later work my way up through the ranks of various restaurants, and I eventually became a certified foodservice operations manager. In 2007, I relocated to the very vegan-friendly city of Eugene, Oregon! From 2007 to 2018, I worked for a long-established local natural foods store, creating a daily assortment of fresh, organic vegan dishes and desserts.
