Tim Boissy

Founder, Owner, Executive Chef

Vegin’ Out, Mary Sue’s Cookie Company

Tim Boissy is a nutritional chef who has worked in natural health, natural foods, and grassroots organizing for more than 20 years since becoming a vegan in 1986. He founded EnviroTour USA, a North American bicycle tour to educate people about alternative energy and transportation, and worked for Greenpeace. In 2000, he co-founded a vegan meal delivery service in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and then started Vegin’ Out (www.veginout.com), now L.A.’s best vegan weekly meal delivery service. Vegin’ Out, which he runs with his brother Dan Boissy, offers Southern California customers a healthy dining option that is more affordable and convenient than takeout, with all the environmental and wellness benefits of a plant-based diet. Tim and Dan founded Mary Sue’s Cookie Company in 2005, and now include fresh-baked vegan cookies with each Vegin’ Out order.

Tim creates a new menu each week based on fresh vegetables, whole grains, leafy greens, and plant-based sources of protein. Each dish is free of meat, dairy, cholesterol and trans-fats, and incorporates as many locally grown and organic ingredients as possible.

In addition to serving as the executive chef at Vegin’ Out, Tim is pursuing a degree in naturopathic medicine at Trinity College of Natural Health. He leads nutrition and cooking classes at Whole Foods and other venues, and works as an educator on food and health to give people the tools they need to live a happy, healthy, and disease-free life.
