Leslie DURSO

A vegan chef and wellness expert, Leslie is the glowing face of a fresher plant-based movement that refuses to compromise style for sustainability. Walking the plant-based talk since age eight, this Southern California native has always been well ahead of the times with her meatless mindset. She works as a consulting chef for hotels, resorts, and restaurants around the world and is currently the vegan chef at the Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico. Once simply known as Leslie the lab girl on TV with Bill Nye the science guy, Leslie took her love of education and shifted from science to plant based food. After establishing herself as a chef for the NYC and Hollywood elite, Leslie emerged as a public person, hosting cooking segments on television and online. Determined to inspire beneficial life-long eating habits for everyone, her show Accidentally Vegan can be seen on FABFITFUNTV and she regularly appears on The Doctors, Food Network, Discovery Channel, Hallmark Channel, and has been featured in The New York Times, The Today Show, VegNews, CNN.com, Redbook, Glamour, and more, evangelizing the benefits of a mindful lifestyle.
