In October 2008, Anula's Kitchen was born and became a blog. It started as a way to preserve cherished family recipes and document new ones developed over time. The blog and all its recipes are the work of one person - Anula. Both the text and images are a product of one girl's passion for food.
All of the recipes are vegan/plant-based, meaning they are free from all types of meat (including fish), eggs, dairy and even honey. This reflects both my daily dietary choices and my life philosophy - that all lives are valuable and everyone deserves to live.
Who is Anula?
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I had to hang up my apron in 2022 and pursue my other passion - creativity. I transitioned into a new career, working as a recipe developer, content creator, proof-reader/copy editor, translator and social media manager.
Why Plant-Based?
In mid-2018, I began researching the vegan/plant-based food scene, along with the philosophy and reasons behind it. I soon realized that it aligned closely with my values and the way I see the world.
As a result of some health issues at the time, I decided to go completely meat-free on January 1st, 2019. From that day on, I simply stopped eating meat. Even before then, I had already begun eliminating dairy from my diet, and eggs had been off the table for a while. The transition felt natural and effortless. So, as of January 1st, 2019, this girl has been fully plant-based!
Some may argue that having experience as a chef makes it easier, but I firmly believe that if someone has the desire, the necessary "know-how" will come naturally. My goal is to show everyone that plant-based meals can be simple, affordable and most importantly - DELICIOUS!
Cooking and eating shouldn't feel like a chore. While some dishes may be more complex, or you might occasionally want to splurge on an ingredient, food should always bring joy - not just in eating, but in the process of making it too!
