My name is Parita Kansagra and I’ve lived in London for most of my life, apart from the time I was studying commercial photography at the Arts University of Bournemouth.

My relationship with food wasn’t always the best. Before becoming vegan, I had no interest in cooking, this led me to eat mainly junk food. I’d eat at McDonald's pretty much every day and sometimes even eat a pack of biscuits for dinner. My lifestyle has completely changed now; I love cooking and I eat a mainly whole food plant-based diet. But I do also love nothing more than baking! So yes, you'll find healthy-ish recipes here but also indulgent recipes to comfort your soul.

As an Indian, it was extremely easy for me to transition my diet to 100% vegan. When I first went vegan I mainly relied on Indian dishes for dinner, as they are normally vegan, and if not they were easy to veganise!
