About the author

Seth started cooking plant-strong farm food in his parents' kitchen at the age of 11. After a decade-long career in several professional kitchens between Pittsburgh and Washington, DC, he developed a distaste for meat-centric, butter-drowned, flour-rich and sugar-laden standard American food. He quickly outgrew the art and techniques of making food in conventional kitchens.

In 2013, he identified a need for healthful foods and made it his business to help individuals with or without health conditions eat healthier. He has cooked for clients in Pittsburgh and Washington, DC metro area for more than three years. His slow food brunch served once a month was discovered by out-of-town foodies. Prior to his bicycle travel, he ran an organic raw juice bar and vegan cafe that earned a gold-plate recognition by Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurants.

Nearly a dozen of his recipes won top prizes in national and local contests open to professional chefs. Some others were published in Taste of Home Magazine, The World's Best Asian Noodle Recipes: 125 Great Recipe from Top Chefs cookbook and on a few blogs. He has been written up by several bloggers and food writers.

	Virtualbookworm Publishing Virtualbookworm (VBW) Publishing was founded by a writer frustrated by the long wait time and occasional heartbreak often associated with the publishing industry. After researching the various "alternatives," he discovered a number of subsidy publishers that would publish any author ... for a price. Unfortunately, many reviewers (and readers) thumb their noses at books from such houses, since all it takes is cash to get published by them. Then he discovered self publishing and the endless opportunities it presented. However, such a venture requires countless hours of research of printers, proofreaders, artists, etc. And after publication, even more time is consumed trying to market the book. So, Virtualbookworm.com was established as a "clearinghouse" for authors, since it offers virtually everything under one roof. Although we now charge setup and design fees, those costs are kept to a minimum so as to cover all expenses. And, as with "traditional" publishers, we carefully review each manuscript and only offer contracts to authors who truly have exceptional manuscripts. We don't print garbage, and we want our authors to proudly say they were published by Virtualbookworm. If we accept your book for publication, you can rest assured that it will be sold next to other quality books, and not just work that had enough money behind it. And, you'll receive some of the best royalties in the business! Since our initial costs are so low, we want your books to sell as much as you do.
