My name is Hudson Stepper, and I went vegan in early 2020 at nine years old. What first inspired me was The Game Changers, a documentary about the benefits of a plant-based diet for high-performance athletes. Eventually, I learned about the ethical and environmental aspects, and it further motivated me to continue being vegan.

Most of the foods I loved were not vegan, so I started making my own. I experimented with ingredients I had never heard of before, rebuilt dishes from scratch, and failed often enough to learn something every time. The recipes became good enough that I started putting them on a website to organize and easily share with others.

That is how this website came to exist. It was not a plan so much as a series of problems that needed solving. Vegan cooking is creative and exciting, and these recipes reflect years of figuring that out the hard way. They are written for anyone curious, regardless of experience or diet. Whether you are fully plant-based or just wondering what is possible, the only thing you need is an appetite.
