The Culinary DIVAS of Panela Productions

For those of you who don't know us, you will soon. Phebe and I met while we were students at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. We discovered we both had a passion for food and sharing healthy, yummy, plant based cuisine with others. For us food is about celebrating culture and creating community while nourishing the the body. We believe in a plant based diet that consists of vegetarian, vegan, raw/living foods for optimal health. We also believe in meeting people where they are, so we provide support for those in transition to a more plant based diet. Our approach to food is simple: we use only the freshest, locally grown, seasonal, and organic ingredients available. Our menus are ethnically inspired, we prepare exquisite meals, that are good for you too. We draw our culinary inspiration from the cultural pastiche that brews only in New York. You may find dishes inspired by Morocco and the Middle East, the Caribbean, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and the American South. Each of us has a unique background in plant science, herbs and spices so we build menus in an interesting way, pulling tastes together and creating multi-dimensional dishes. Here we are shopping at the GreenMarket for some local ingredients.
