Amassed with degrees and credentials from Western and Eastern sciences and philosophies, The Kitchen Vixen is still a student of her own body and a teacher for the masses. Join her each week as she shows you what to eat to fuel your body while teaching you why and how these ingredients work. The Kitchen Vixen is "IN", here to give you the recipes for success; for life.
