Vegan Eatery Opens

Chef Mayra Trabulse celebrated the grand opening of her new vegan restaurant, Pura Vida Bakery & Bystro, in Nevada last weekend. Pura Vida offers 100 percent cruelty-free Caribbean and Southwest-inspired dishes, as well as baked goods, breakfast foods, and a catering service. Chef Trabulse prides herself on using premium ingredients and incorporating the principles of macrobiotic, raw food, and gluten-free diets into her meals, which are free of high-fructose corn syrup, GMOs, and hydrogenated oils. Ten percent of sales will be donated to local charities, such as Adopt a Rescue Pet.
