40+ years of meat-free cooking

I’ve been cooking meat-free food for more than 40 years, ever since I decided at 15 that it was how I wanted to eat. Back then, eating this way took more thought, more planning, and a lot more cooking from scratch, and that shaped the way I still cook now.

Here on Two City Vegans, I share vegan recipes for anyone who wants more plant-based food on the table, whether you’re curious, cutting back on meat, or already fully vegan. You’ll find dinners, sides, desserts, and everyday dishes that are made to be cooked and enjoyed at home.
