Guest Bio
Vivienne Vella paid her way through school by working as an exercise instructor. After graduating from law school, she became an entertainment lawyer in a big law firm and then in a movie studio for 15 plus years. A few years ago, she stopped practicing law and formed a non-GMO, gluten free, dairy free and preservative free cold and hot soup and broth company, Soupure, with her partner, Angela Blatteis. With the help of many nutritionists, food scientists and chefs, the two explored the "all or nothing" approach to eating and dieting and decided they wanted to do something different. They do not believe in starvation diets, nor do they support the popular fad of "juicing;" especially those that press the fiber from the fruit or vegetable. They believe in balance; raw and cooked, primarily vegetable-based, but they understand the role of animal protein, fat can be your friend, and so on. Vivienne and Angela want to bring back the beautiful bliss of a balanced whole food diet and no better way to do that than through the world's most beloved comfort food... soup.
