Squirrel’s Vegan Kitchen

Inspired by the boom in vegan food blogging, I made this blog as a way to interact with other people- vegan, veg or veg-curious- and to exercise my food writing. Out of it, I’ve made friends all over the world and I have the honor being let into other people’s kitchens and lives.

I’m a member of the clan of Portland, OR vegans, moving here out of love for the climate, the progressive atmosphere, and to join the ever-expanding community of veg*ns taking the city by storm. I live with my husband, Jim, and our fur kids:

Linus

Ravi

Bindhi

and

Hazel.

When I’m not baking or spending time with my family I like to read, write and enjoy music. Some of my favorite books include The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and the works of Sarah Vowell and David Sedaris. I collect kid’s books that I think are cool and have an entire bookcase of them. I’m a huge Beatles fan and love the solo work of Paul McCartney and George Harrison. Some of my other musical favorites include Patty Griffin, Mason Jennings, Jontha Brooke, Sarah Harmer, Michael Franti, Jeff Buckley, Andrew Bird and a million others.
