About Chef Eddie Garza
Celebrity Vegan Chef Eddie Garza has cooked for a host of plant-powered stars in the television, film and music industries, including television host and model Daisy Fuentes, singer-songwriter Richard Marx, Latin American television presenters Marco Antonio Regil, Ximena Córdoba, and Catalina Robayo, actors Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Daniella Monet, Christine Elise, and Harley Quinn Smith, among others.
Eddie grew up in the Mexican-American border town of Brownsville, Texas, a region plagued by childhood obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Like many of Eddie's childhood peers, he struggled with serious weight problems from an early age, maxing out at 310 pounds by the time he was 21 years old. It was when Eddie transitioned to a plant-centric diet that he was able to naturally lose over 150 pounds and reverse his declining health.
Eddie's latest book, Salud! Vegan Mexican Cookbook features 150 plant-powered recipes that represent the 150 pounds he lost on his vegan journey.
With an inspiring success story that transformed his life from obesity to a triumphant change in lifestyle, Chef Garza has now become a sought-after speaker, culinary coach and thought leader on issues related to Latinx health. He has lectured and presented at top universities, culinary schools and major conferences in the U.S. and Latin America, including South by Southwest in Austin and Expo en Verde Ser in Mexico City.
