Hi there! I'm Alex.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I'm a passionate food photographer and recipe developer based in Portland, Oregon, on a mission to prove that plant-based cooking is anything but boring.

My Story

My journey started not in a fancy culinary school, but in a cramped apartment kitchen about seven years ago. I picked up a camera to share my dinner with a friend, and that single spark ignited a full-blown love affair with food storytelling.

What began as a hobby on Instagram quickly grew into this blog—a place where I can share not just the final, polished recipe, but the messy, joyful, and sometimes disastrous process behind it.

What You'll Find Here

On this blog, I promise to:

  • Share reliable recipes: Every dish is tested at least three times to make sure it works in your kitchen as well as it does in mine.
  • Keep it accessible: I'm a home cook, not a professional chef. My goal is to create food that is beautiful but, more importantly, delicious and achievable for you.
  • Be authentic: I'll share my failures and lessons learned along the way. This is a real kitchen, not a perfect TV set.

Let's Connect!

I absolutely love hearing from readers. Your tips, your own recipe variations, and your success stories are what keep me going.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
