“Peeled” will star four vegan chef competitors. There’s Jaena Moynihan, a vegan holistic health and wellness coach in training from Phoenix, Arizona; Donald Lemperle, the founder and executive chef of VegeNation, from Las Vegas; Nicole Derseweh, a former Le Cordon Bleu student, cookbook author, and personal chef in Los Angeles; and Sandra Hurtault, a baker from Paris who works as a personal chef in Encinitas, California.
They’ll be making history on the very first all-vegan cooking competition show in the US. Though some other shows, like “MasterChef” and “Beat Bobby Flay” have featured plant-based chefs (Tamearra Dyson, a vegan cook, did, in fact, beat Flay), they’ve usually competed against chefs who cook with both meat and dairy. But on “Peeled,” the chefs will be using all plant-based ingredients, from fresh whole produce to faux-meat and cheese products, as well. The show doesn’t have a firm release date yet, but viewers interested in vegan cooking should look for the premiere sometime this summer.
