First time here? Welcome!
Hi, I'm Lori
I'm so glad you're here!
I do all of the writing, recipe development, and food photography here at My Quiet Kitchen. I've always loved food and cooking, and going vegan only intensified that love!
I've been vegan since 2011, and have passionately explored everything from oil-free, whole-food plant-based recipes (WFPB) to gluten-free baking, homemade vegan cheeses, and decadent desserts.
My goal is to help you feel comfortable and empowered in the kitchen and EXCITED about cooking with plants!
What You Can Expect
The recipes you'll find here are always vegan. Many are made from whole, unprocessed foods, with the occasional indulgent exception.
Many of my recipes are also gluten-free or easily adapted by swapping out an ingredient with its gluten-free alternative.
Anytime there is a tested oil-free or gluten-free option, you'll see it noted in the recipe, with extra information in the body of the post to help you with brands, substitutions, etc.
So if you're only interested in oil-free or gluten-free recipes, browse through those categories, and you're all set!
Though I don't strictly follow an oil-free, WFPB diet myself, I do believe in its power to heal and nourish the human body! As a recipe creator and vegan foodie, I leave some room for processed foods (gotta try out all the new vegan products!) and experimenting in the kitchen. And sometimes that means using oil, sugar, etc.
We all have our own health and nutrition needs, and it's important to figure out what works best for you. You can read more about my food philosophy here.
These are some of my favorite recipes!
