About Me

Hi, I’m Julia!

I live in Ukraine and have a passion for exercising, traveling, and, of course, cooking delicious vegan food. Each of these things brings me joy and inspires me to live a healthy and balanced life.

On Eat Something Vegan you’ll discover delicious and easy-to-make vegan recipes. I understand that you are busy and looking for recipes that are approachable, simple, and satisfying. That’s why most of my recipes include just 10 ingredients or less, minimal kitchen equipment, and a few minutes of prep work.

Each recipe comes with an instructional video and step-by-step photos that will surely make it easier for you while cooking.

Becoming vegan is about finding new, delicious recipes that become favorites and replace the old, animal-based recipes. I want to share my best recipes with you! Each recipe was tested, re-tested, and made it to the "My Favorites" list, so you can feel confident that you are about to cook something yummy. 🙂

Meet Emma🐾

This little lady is Emma — my Pekingese and my most loyal kitchen assistant. She may not actually cook (yet), but she carefully supervises every recipe I make. You’ll often see her at the end of my recipes, making sure everything turned out just right. Emma’s main responsibilities include taste-testing recipes, keeping me company during long cooking days, and reminding me when it’s time for a walk instead of another photo shoot. Around here, she’s basically the boss — and I’m just the one doing the cooking.

You'll see the little snippets of Emma's life at the end of each recipe.

What happened to Tania?

If you're wondering why you're now hearing from me, Julia, instead of Tania, let me share a little bit of our story. Tania, the founder of this site, has been the heart and soul of EatSomethingVegan, bringing you all the delicious vegan recipes and tips over the years.

Recently, Tania made the decision to transition her family to a more varied diet while still maintaining a mostly vegan lifestyle herself. As a result, I’ll now be taking over the vegan side of things here on the site. She is running cooktoria.com, in case you want to keep in touch with her.

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Tania for nearly a decade, and I've been her right hand in creating and sharing all of the vegan content you’ve come to love. So while you’ll now see me taking the lead, you can expect the same passion for plant-based foods and recipes that we've always shared.

I’m honored to be able keep spreading the love for delicious, plant-based meals. I promise you won’t notice much of a change on the site—I’ll be here, continuing to share all the vibrant and tasty vegan dishes you've come to enjoy!

Thanks for being with us on this journey, and I can’t wait to continue bringing you more of what you love!

With love,
Julia
