Hayette has been cultivating a love of food since childhood and has been honing her skills in restaurant kitchens over the past two decades. A lifelong vegetarian, a nutrition class in college prompted her to transition to a vegan lifestyle. Hayette has a degree in Health and Wellness Promotion from UNC Asheville and a keen interest in fitness and sustainability within food systems. In 2018, Hayette opened Vegan Roaming, a vegan catering and events business. Her newest project, the Sunflower Diner, is a collaboration with the West Village Market & Deli and features a vegan menu with options for omnivores and a focus on local and organic foods. When not in a kitchen, you can find Hayette curled up on a couch with her miniature poodle.
Enjoy this one-hour Living Well where Hayette shares her passion for healthy food and sustainable food systems as well as her excitement for her Sunflower Diner which is set to open in a few weeks and located in the West Village Market.
