My Review:
“If you want delicious Vegan cuisine in a warm Southern setting served by a renowned chef and teacher, visit Staff of Life. Everything I’ve tasted there, from the salad, homemade bread, crab cakes, pasta, and my favorite, chicken cordon bleu, to the delectable carrot and cheesecake cakes and ice cream, I am amazed by and highly recommend. And it’s in Cherokee, AL!!!”
We welcome Staff of Life Cafe’ and Bed and Breakfast to Garden Spices. – Victorine

I’ve owned and operated several vegan restaurants and have done cooking classes and lecturers all over the country. I’ve done several t.v. shows and frequently appeared on Tennessee Crossroads, and 3ABN television as well. I have several cookbooks which can be purchased on Amazon and Kindle books.
