I Came across this gentleman about a week ago while trying my best to come up with new ways to create vegan recipes that would fool meat eaters or at least tempt people to try vegan or veggie based snacks and their favorite foods. I was literally drooling as i watched Gaz cook seitan or wheat meat recipes that mock one of my old time favs, steak. he also did a version of KFC chicken that brought back many memories. me, i used to love steak and potatoes. or chicken and potatoes, so this was key. as i watched him create, it started my into a more creative way of trying to mock herbs and spices that are pretty much all that matter in meat eating. so it's kind of making meatless dishes without even thinking about using meat as the base product. i hope you like what i'm talking about. and this will be only my second full year of being vegan on the holidays. the worlds most meat involved time of the year, when im pretty much alone in eating because the old way of traditional holidays are revolving around feasting on flesh. I THINK THESE RECIPES WILL PRESENT OPTIONS FOR YOU THAT ARE WITH ME IN THE STRUGGLE TO GO VEGGIE. IF ANYTHING, IT WILL OPEN YOUR THOUGHTS TO A NEW WAY OF CREATING FOODS THAT YOU CRAVE. AND MIGHT EVEN TURN SOME CARNIVORES INTO FOLKS LIKE US. I HOPE YOU SHARE THIS BECAUSE THIS GUY I BELIEVE IS A KEY PLAYER IN THE NEW AGE OF VEGAN COOKING.. enjoy, and Happy Holidays !

I try to tell a different story with each picture. Often this is created by using different backdrops and props…So my bedroom is filled with odd bits of wood and tiles. I had to buy new shelving for all my bowls and plates. But I could still do with more!
Starting my Instagram page has opened up so many doors for me and I’m so happy to be cooking again… I have done pop-up nights at restaurants, food festivals, loads of interviews, worked with amazing companies and been commissioned to consult on menu design for new restaurants. I’m extremely fortunate to be in the position I’m in. I’m really enjoying life now that I’m not stuck in a job where I can’t express my creativity.
I have people following me from all around the world and the kind comments are overwhelming. I’m going to share some of them on my website, because they make me happy!
