Brian Templeton

Brian Templeton also known as 'Temps' is the author of Boundless; A Spritual Journey Through Time, Culture and Self. His writing explores the deep connections between heritage, identity, and the ever-evolving human experience.

Born in the UK to a Jamaican family, Temps has lived in various countries, including Spain, Costa Rica, and Ghana, shaping his unique perspective on culture and community. His journey with food and culture deepened when when Temps became head chef at Jammin Caribbean Cuisine in Tenerife, where he mastered the bold flavours of Jamaican cuisine. A transformative experience working on an organic farm led him to embrace a vegan lifestyle in 2017, opening up new avenues for personal growth and conscious living. This experience fuelled his passion for cultural preservation, leading him to found Jammin Comunidad Vegana, a Jamaican vegan restaurant in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.

Now based in Ghana, Temps is focused on amplifying the richness of African heritage. As co-founder of True Culture, a tourism company dedicated to immersive cultural experiences, he aims to connect people with their roots, foster a deeper appreciation of African and Caribbean traditions, and support local communities.

Alongside his cultural work, Temps is currently developing Vegan Jammin: The Heart of Jamaican Plant-Based Cooking, a project that brings together his passion for food, storytelling, and sustainability. The book will offer a vibrant collection of plant-based Jamaican recipes infused with history, personal anecdotes, and cultural insights.

Through his writing and projects, Temps seeks to inspire a more conscious, connected, and culturally aware way of living.
