Welcome to Easy Vegan Grub, a website we created to bring you simple, affordable and sustainable plant-based recipes. Our names are Alex and Katherine, and we are much like any other food-loving couple, we go to restaurants, check out the local food trucks, eat takeaway, love to home cook of course, and above all have a passion for good food. The only thing that might set the two of us apart from our fellow foodies is that since 2017, we switched up the way we cook and eat, beginning our adventure into removing animal products from the meals on our table.
“We believe in the choice to eat eco-consciously and compassionately, and we are dedicated to giving everybody the opportunity to have great-tasting plant-based food on their tables.“
Choosing to eat vegan food though doesn’t make what comes out of our kitchen now any less delicious than the meals we used to eat, nor does it mean it’s any harder to cook. We shop in the same big-name high-street supermarkets, we still support the same local food shops, and we aren’t subscribed to any meal plan services. While our home in the UK has some of the global hotspots for plant-based restaurants in places like London and Brighton, we began to find our feet for veganism while living Houston, Texas. This was a great way to start out because the stores there don’t sell jars of vegan white sauce, or egg alternatives. It taught us to always cook from the base ingredients, giving us an insight into new techniques and ways to create familiar flavours.
We returned to the UK after becoming the lucky parents to one amazing high-energy little boy, and as we write this we have another on the way. We do also have careers though, which frequently require additional hours, so it’s safe to say that we don’t always have the privilege of free hours on the weekdays to prepare those exploratory meals, search the aisles for exotic spices from faraway lands, or produce our own pasta. We feel that the plant-based diet ought to be accessible to everyone and that being vegan should be easy. Every single one of our dishes has been designed to be big on flavour, lean on ingredients and light on your time. We believe in the choice to eat consciously, and we are passionate about allowing everybody to have great-tasting plant-based food on their table.
