We are excited to introduce Chef Peter McKenzie, the owner of Veggie Delight, a restaurant that embraces authentic Caribbean flavors and keeps each dish exciting and delicious for all palettes. Chef Peter’s journey began about ten years ago when he adopted a vegetarian lifestyle to improve his health and become a better version of himself. He began experimenting with vegan food and adding Caribbean flavors with his ex-girlfriend, a vegetarian.

Chef Peter incorporated all the mental history of food he had been going through and brought it to Toronto, where he opened his restaurant six years ago. He believes that when you’re dealing with plants, that’s what you’re dealing with, and you’re not dealing with anything else. Chef Peter has attracted a diverse clientele with his Caribbean-inspired dishes, and his restaurant has enormously succeeded. Today, we are thrilled to have Chef Peter McKenzie with us to share his insights into vegan food and his journey as a chef.
