About Maximalist Vegan

Hi, I’m Ingrid, a lifelong foodie and ethical vegan who lives and cooks in Seattle, Washington. This blog is where I share my approach to cooking and tips on food prep as a health conscious well-traveled vegan who has sampled plant based cuisine from many parts of the world. I started blogging with the hope that my recipes and ideas would help fellow foodies optimize wellness in a way that satisfies their curious palates. The science is in, getting a wide variety of whole plant foods on a daily basis while minimizing the use of refined, processed and animal foods is the best way for humans to eat. My own health has been transformed by this approach. Instead of feeling restricted, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find that this lifestyle has made me a better, more creative and resourceful home cook. My recipes are about maximizing flavor while keeping things vegan, nourishing and health-forward.
