Chef Alina Z has been singled out by the Food Network's Wine and Food Festival team as a key player in South Florida’s dining scene. She was one of only 40 chefs to share her culinary expertise with 8,000 passionate consumers, hospitality industry leaders, media, and friends during the Festival. 

She was the ONLY RAW VEGAN Chef at the Festival at the 2014 festival when she showcased her signature raw vegan and cooked vegan Couture Cookie Dough in the MasterCard Grand Tasting Tents in 2014 and her raw vegan apple pie in 2015.

Have you heard of SEED Food & Wine Festival?

This 5-day all plant-based event was fun, sexy and delicious as it featured gourmet dinners with wine pairings, a fabulous brunch, film screening, a kid-friendly event and an all-day festival of food and drinks sampling from some of the best restaurants in South Florida. 

The festival signed a stellar cast of celebrity chefs, authors and health experts, including plant-based actress Alicia Silverstone, best-selling author and raw food chef, Matthew Kenney, 2014 James Beard Award nominees Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby, and author Brendan Brazier, a former professional Ironman triathlete considered to be one of the world's foremost authorities on plant-based nutrition.
