Hi, I’m Eleanor, one of three friends behind this space. I’m not a professional chef; I’m a curious home cook who finds joy in vegetables, pantry staples, and the small rituals that make a meal feel welcoming. I believe plant-based cooking is about abundance, not restriction: bright produce, whole grains, good olive oil, and a sprinkle of herbs that wake everything up.

Over the years, I learned that consistency comes from gentle habits: tasting as you go, warming a bowl before serving, letting ingredients speak for themselves. I test recipes at home, write clear steps you can trust on busy days, and always explain the “why” behind each technique. If a swap makes dinner easier, oat milk for cream, lemon for vinegar, I’ll suggest it.

My recipes lean cozy and practical: soups you can stretch, grain bowls that welcome leftovers, salads with substance, and simple desserts that feel like a hug. I love cooking that fits real life, weekday-friendly, budget-aware, and satisfying without fuss. When wellness comes up, I keep notes humble and link to reliable sources, because good information should feel steady, not loud.

Most of all, I want the kitchen to feel calm and kind. Set a plate, light the room, take a breath, then let color and fragrance do the rest. If you’re exploring vegetarian cooking for the first time or simply want fresh ideas, I’m glad you’re here. Let’s make food that tastes good and feels good, one simple recipe at a time.
