My Articles & my Books
My articles are available in English and my cooking books in French
Plant-Based Cuisine
• Plant-Based Cuisine, a new Speciality? Why talking about plant-based cuisine and not vegan food?
• What did I learn from 2 years of practicing Time Restricted Eating? TRE is a form of intermittent fasting also known as « IF 16:8 ».
La Palma & Trail
• La Palma, a peaceful oasis for creative nomads?
• The major trails to explore La Palma. The island, who used to be known for stargazing, hiking and mountain biking, became in the recent years a true hotspot for trail-running.
Livres de Cuisine
Mes livres sont des ouvrages de cuisine 100% végétale et sans gluten, publiés aux éditions La Plage (Paris).
Cette belle aventure a commencé avec Secrets d'endurance, il y a près de 6 ans, puis Protéines Vertes, enfin plus récemment Le Grand Livre de la Cuisine Crue.
Je souhaite poursuivre l'aventure et continuer à explorer les thèmes autour d'un style de vie actif, d'une cuisine 100% végétale, pure et simple, colorée et créative.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour des projets d'éditions.

Christophe Berg
Director of Education @ Blue Lotus, Plant-Based Specialist & Project Manager
Very early I got attracted if not fascinated by computers and went from hacking video games and learning english along the way to start working in my twenties as software developer and database architect. As the internet wave hit Europe, I quickly became web project manager and game designer.
For the past 20 years, I worked as a project manager freelance and consultant using agile methods for web development, game design and digital production. I have a Master of Science degree, in Mathematics and Computer Science, with a specialization in Project Management. I have been teaching project management, agile methods and creative design as a guest lecturer for 10 years in France (Master of Video Games), the Netherlands (Utrecht School of Arts) and Singapore (Ngee Ann Polytechnics).
As an avid-trail-runner, I became motivated to explore plant-based cuisine for active people. While running a cooking studio in Haarlem, I wrote 12 books on plant-based cuisine for active people and specialized in raw food in Santa Monica.
I worked as Executive Chef & Project Manager to launch Yi Athens Raw Vegan Café in Greece, MK Culinary Academy in Thailand and TOM's Juice Bar in St Barth. Currently, I am the Director of Education at Blue Lotus in Thailand
«Sadly I witnessed quite some failures in the plant-based food sector. It’s unfortunately not enough to be crazy talented and imagine a sumptuous concept, you need some basic project management skills and pragmatic business understanding in order to develop a sustainable business. I coach people to develop viable projects aligned with their lifestyle»

La Palma, a Trail-Running Destination
The small volcanic island is a true hotspot for outdoor sports.
Trail-running Hotspot
La Palma is one of the green paradises from the Canary Islands, the Spanish Archipelago in the Atlantic ocean.
The volcanic island has a series of peaks above 2000m of altitude with Roque Los Muchachos, the highest culminating at 2426 meters.
Each year in May the Transvulcania race attracts trail runners from all over the world.
The GR131 & Beyond...
Popularized by the Transvulcania, the GR 131 (70mk+) trail crosses the island on the Volcanic Route from Fuencaliente to Réfugio El Pilar, then on the Crest Trail up to Roque Los Muchachos and finally down to Puerto de Tazacorte with a cumulative elevation of 4400m.
Explore the major trails of La Palma (a trail-running guide).
Vertical & Brutal
In La Palma, a flat trail is just a fantasy that doesn't exist... It's all about elevation, vertical up-hills and crazy downhills on volcanic rocks.
Even the local race of Tazacorte, the "Paris Chiquito Trail" in just 19km has 2737 m of cumulative elevation (altitude max 1070m) including part of the Kilometer Vertical of the Transvulcania.

Perfect Training Spot
Tazacorte is a perfect spot for training with easy access to the main trails, a vertical kilometer and the sea to swim after a demanding run. Or, you can simply relax on the beach, enjoying the most pleasant weather year round, a sunny 20-24°C.
