History

Inspired by the untimely death of her mother from cancer in 1996, Vita’s Eatery was conceptualized by its owner and personal chef, Levita.  Her name is Latin for “life,” and the purpose of her services is to show others that vegan cuisine can both promote an improved quality of life and taste delicious.  Levita turned a traumatic event along with her passion—cooking—into a means of sharing with others the benefits of eating to live rather than living to eat.  Some of these benefits include weight loss, reduced cholesterol, and decreased risk of ailments such as high blood-pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes and certain forms of cancer.  To this end, all foods are prepared with fresh, wholesome, organic ingredients (when readily available), without meat, table salt, processed flour, refined sugar, eggs or dairy.
