About Me
A message from Claire
Let me start off by saying that I am not a chef, and I have never been to cooking school. I learned to cook by watching my parents cook dinner every night and soon developed a love for cooking and especially baking. When I became vegan 12 years ago, I did so because of my love for animals and I realized that I didn’t need to consume animal products to live a healthy life. I didn’t do it because I didn’t like the taste of meat. If someone were to come out with a vegan steak that actually tasted like steak, I would be first in line to buy it.
Anyway my point is that becoming vegan didn’t mean that I wanted to live off beans and sprouts for the rest of my life. I started off by modifying recipes I had always used and then as I got more adventurous, and more meat alternatives came on the market, I started coming up with new recipes.
I started vegancooking.com about 11 years ago as a resource for my friends and family. I decided to put all my recipes online so that they would have somewhere to go for vegan recipes. I also wanted to show people that vegan doesn’t mean bad tasting food. Today vegancooking has video cooking demonstrations, product and restaurant reviews, and a vegan FAQ section where I will answer many commonly asked questions about veganism.
My husband and I live out in the country with our 4 dogs and 2 cats. I am currently working on a vegan dessert/baking cookbook that will be out soon.
Thanks for visiting my site, I hope you enjoy it.
