A chef who weighed 98 pounds, Seth rode 4,262+ miles on his 80-pound bicycle from coast to coast in the U.S. in 2016, organizing his award-winning recipes for this book into categories and chapters,
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.

Hi,
Hope you're doing well. I've got an a series of life events I had to sort through since returning from bike tour in October of last year. I am now getting back to focusing on getting the book out next year. I will update regularly on this site when release date is confirmed. I will be reaching out to each person who pre-ordered to verify shipping address and letting them know when shipped. I am now known as Seth Emerald Canada and excited about living as a whole authentic self, not living in fear in a closet, but bravely and openly in the real world, as I let others be who they are.
Thank you for your continued support and patience!
P.S. I had an opportunity to work outdoors as Trail Ranger with Washington Area Bicyclist Association this past summer. I posed in front of new mural with a quote by Frederick Douglass along one of the trails, Metropolitan Branch Trail, that I helped clean up and maintained as a 2017 trail ranger.
Cheers!
Seth
