PLANT-BASED BY SHANON MARTINEZ

Shannon Martinez's journey from traditional kitchens to plant-based prominence is inspiring. As owner of Australia's leading plant- based locations, Smith & Daughters and Smith & Deli, she's made plant-based dining delicious and approachable for all. Her accolades as Executive Chef at Lona Misa Restaurant, including Australia's first 2 Hats for Plant-Based restaurants, showcase her culinary expertise and innovation. Martinez’s success as a four-time author, with over 100,000 copies sold worldwide, has popularised plant-based cooking and showcased her influence. Her appearance on MasterChef introduced plant-based cuisine to a global audience for the first time. Martinez’s collaboration with Friends of Fire and Amphora at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium brings plant-based cuisine into the stadium dining scene, a culinary first within a major sporting and event precinct.
