Plant-based, Earth-inspired Recipes

About

Hello there!

I’m Omar and I’m an avid world traveler with an insatiable appetite for cooking, baking, and all things vegan. I started this blog as a means of sharing cooking tips, travel stories, and, most importantly, tasty plant-based, 100% vegan recipes. For the uninitiated, this means that all the recipes on this blog do not contain any animal-derived products including: meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, and honey. What you will find are flavorful, plant-powered recipes that taste delicious and are every bit as satisfying. So, let us journey around the world to faraway lands and recreate the authentic flavors we encounter.

About Me

 

Travel is at its most rewarding when it ceases to be about your reaching a destination and becomes indistinguishable from living your life.
