I'm Olga, a vegan chef and recipe developer. After attending the Culinary Institute of America in NYC, I became a wedding and custom cake designer, and eventually opened my own bakery.

In addition to the blog, I teach plant-based cooking classes, and I am a regular contributor to websites such as One Green Planet and Vkind. My work has also been chosen to be featured in magazines such as Global Vegan, Vegan Times, Taste of Home, and Vegan Food & Living.
