🎥 Chef Perry Goes Live on CTV Morning Show — Holiday Vegan Magic in Ottawa!

Big news from The Vegan Gorilla kitchen! I was honored to be invited to appear live on the CTV Morning Show in Ottawa to showcase my signature vegan holiday meal creations—and what an unforgettable experience it was!

With the festive season in full swing, I brought the flavor, the flair, and the compassion to the CTV studio, sharing plant-based dishes that prove holiday meals can be indulgent, joyful, and 100% cruelty-free. From savory mains to decadent desserts, every bite was designed to warm hearts and nourish souls.

🎄 What I Shared On-Air

  • A vibrant holiday roast packed with seasonal herbs and hearty vegetables

  • Creamy cashew-based gravy that had the hosts asking for seconds

  • A show-stopping vegan dessert that sparkled with festive flair

The energy in the studio was electric, and I loved connecting with viewers who are curious about bringing more plant-based goodness to their holiday tables. Whether you're a longtime vegan or just exploring new traditions, these dishes are all about celebration, connection, and conscious living.

📺 Why It Matters Being featured on live television is more than a personal milestone—it's a chance to show the world that vegan cooking is accessible, exciting, and deeply satisfying. I’m grateful to CTV Ottawa for the opportunity to share my passion and inspire others to cook with heart.

💚 Let’s Keep the Momentum Going If you missed the segment, don’t worry! I’ll be sharing the recipes, behind-the-scenes photos, and a few holiday cooking tips right here on the blog. And if you’re ready to take your skills to the next level, check out my upcoming in-person and Zoom cooking classes—I’d love to cook with you!

Stay tuned, stay kind, and stay hungry for change.

Chef Perry, The Vegan Gorilla
