Audience members will also get to taste and test her dishes after all her demos. Bettina says: 'I cannot wait to connect with like-minded individuals and share in the joy of plant-based cooking. I believe food should nourish both people and the planet - it is not about being perfect, but about making small, impactful choices. ' I look forward to challenging people to think differently about ingredients and discover new ways to make food both healthy and exciting. I am very happy to be part of the Good Life Show for 2025, because this is where I can inspire others to bring more plants into their kitchens and embrace a more sustainable, plant-powered lifestyle.' When asked some rapid-fire cookery questions, Bettina shared these gems: Are there any ingredients that you believe are stand-out flavours? Miso for umami, citrus for brightness, and fermented foods for that extra depth of flavour. These ingredients can completely transform a dish. Are there any hero foods that you couldn't live without? Lemons! They add freshness, balance flavours, and elevate almost any dish. Also, nuts and seeds for texture and richness. What's your favourite type of seasoning? A good-quality flaky sea salt enhances everything. I also love smoked paprika for warmth and depth. Bettina's involvement does not only take place in the kitchen. As a passionate advocate for the Chefs' Manifesto, a global initiative promoting sustainability and ethical food practices, Bettina will be highlighting the importance of conscious eating, reducing food waste, and supporting all natural food systems. She will demonstrate how small changes in our kitchens can lead to a big impact on our health and the planet.
