About

Hey! I’m Julian and I created this blog to post some of the Italian recipes I’ve been adapting ever since I became vegan. Being Italian and having a ridiculous passion for Italian food, becoming vegan seemed to mean that I would have to give up some of my favorite foods. Luckily, all it took was a bit of looking around on the internet to figure out that with a little bit of creativity it’s pretty easy to re-create the tastes of all of my favorite foods.

There are already some absolutely incredible vegan recipe blogs out there – Mouthwatering Vegan and Maple Spice are two of my favorites, you should check them out – but while I’ve loved the majority of what I’ve seen and tried, their Italian substitutes aren’t quite enough. It’s just those small things that are missing; they’ll have some excellent ideas, but the meaning of the food itself has been altered, and lost a bit of the magic.

I don’t know if anyone is ever even going to look at this blog, and, in fact, I made it more to just keep track of things I made. I tend to experiment a lot in the kitchen, which, besides from creating an irritating mess for my housemates, means that a lot of the things I eat I won’t be able to eat ever again – simply because I forgot how it was I made it! By forcing myself to take pictures and write the recipe of things I’ve just done, I can make sure that doesn’t happen. Anyway, I hope you do enjoy taking a look around and that some of these foods inspire you. Being vegan is actually a lot more simple than it seems, especially if you’re going to be cooking for yourself. And it’s great to be able to eat the best food in the world, without harming anything in the process.
