Description: Hi there! My name is Eleonora, I'm an italian architect. I come from Siena, but I've been living in London since 2007. I've always been a vegetarian, I'd say, and I think I went vegan, beside for ethical reasons, as a healthy reaction to the "junk food" I'm surrounded by. In these years up here I've been trying out an digging into the potential of a huge variety of foods I didn't know when I was in Italy. Also, I have to say, I'm lucky enough to find here a lot of products (japanese, indian, middle-eastern, organic, fairtrade,...) just round the corner. I think cooking is fairly similar to Architecture: there is a structure at the base, there is the "genius", there's the unusual use of a traditional "material"; there's the particular "material" you woudn't expect to find, but without which the final dish wouldn't be the same. In my spare time I love reading, travelling, swimming, walking, riding my bicycle...and managing this website! I do believe this is a great reference for vegans and wannabe vegans, vegetarians and for all those who want to find out (and, of course, try out!) what the vegan-style means, in the kitchen and in the life. All comments will be therefore very much appreciated and encouraged, if polite and respectful. We would like this to be a relaxing and friendly place to talk about vegan food and recipes, and become friends - in the website and, why not, in the real life. Enjoy your meal then, and a warm welcome to everybody!
