A Tribute to Nitai

In loving memory of Nitai das (Elisha Drury), founder of Krishna Kitchen, who passed away on January 31, 2012. Nitai originally started his project as Krishna Camp in 2006 when he and his crew were working hard to bring delicious vegetarian food to festival goers at Burning Man and various Rainbow Gatherings. Then in 2007 Krishna Kitchen emerged as a professional organization dedicated to providing healthy, gourmet vegan food. Nitai enthusiastically devoted all of his energy to Krishna Kitchen year round. His good-natured, friendly countenance and sociable personality endeared him to the many people with whom he worked.
He will be dearly missed by all of his acquaintances, friends and loved ones.

Krishna Kitchen Project

Krishna Kitchen is an operation of Food for Life Global, the world’s largest international vegan/vegetarian food relief organization, specialized in emergency relief and event catering.  This summer we are launching an awareness campaign at various progressive events to promote sustainable and holistic living.

In 2004 Food for Life was one of the first response teams for the Tsunami in SE Asia, and the first response team for Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Since then Food for Life has provided food relief all over the world cooperating with the UN, the Red Cross, and other NGO’s. FFL has led relief efforts in the war zone of Groznyy, Sokhumi, and Sarajevo and in 1998, volunteers helped thousands in Nicaragua and Honduras after Hurricane Mitch.

Foods for Life’s successful missions have led to the distribution of over 700 million meals. That’s five meals every second! Beyond these efforts, Food for Life exists as a catalyst for others by assisting its affiliates with money, advice, coordinating volunteers and creating new programs.

"Give someone a meal and you feed them for a day. Show them how to cook and you feed them for life. Food for Life seeks not only to feed people, but also educate people on healthy cooking practices so they can nutritionally feed themselves and others for a lifetime with minimal ecological side effects."
