Today we’d like to introduce you to Silvia Loney.
Silvia, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
My love for cooking developed very early in life. My fondest childhood memories are of watching my grandmother cook in her restaurant. Food always excited me and brings me to a happy place! I learned to cook when I was pregnant with my first born. I was just 17 at the time, and had to start learning to care for myself and a child!
Owning my own business became a dream after developing more of a passion for cooking. The possibility became more real when I went vegan! I became vegan a few years ago after learning about my father’s cancer. Cancer runs in my family and I decided to do as much as I can to lessen those chances.
In my business, I focus on creating or veganizing Latin meals I grew up on in a healthier way! My meal prep is for individuals wanting to live a healthier lifestyle but no time to cook their meals. I also focus on catering to events or even small parties. Being vegan has ignited my passion for cooking because you can be so creative in your dishes. Creating amazing food that will have you questioning … is this vegan? Or how did you do this ?! Eating healthier is a cure-all, I truly believe food is medicine!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I was in a destructive and abusive relationship for ten years. I never imagined it would be possible for me to have something of my own. My business may be small but for me, I’m living a dream!
We’d love to hear more about your business.
My company specializes in vegan meals, whether meal prep or catering, we got you! I love veganizing recipes and recreating Latin dishes I grew up eating and I incorporate that into my business. Food is thy medicine, and what we eat can truly affect our health. I focus on the client’s needs and strive to heal through food. There are many vegan businesses in Miami, however, mine focuses on healthier options. Anything I make for my clients is freshly made!
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
