3.4 Caitlin: Creativity of Vegan Eating

This week I have a very exciting guest who I was fortunate enough to record with in person in her cozy living room with our sweet pups as we talked all about Food, Vegan eating and the creativity of Cooking. Caitlin grew up in a small city outside Ann Arbor Michigan with her brother and parents. From the start she grew up eating a different diet than many of her peers and her chosen diet has evolved over the years influenced by her love of animals and the environment. She currently lives in the DC metro area and loves the incredible food diversity of her surrounding community having fun exploring flavors and bringing them into the creativity of her kitchen Cait and I dive deep into her journey with food and how her convictions made the choices easy but still left her with plenty to learn as she rounded out her plate every meal. As we chatted Vegan eating, we talked about so many food profiles, cookbooks and places where she has drawn inspiration. As a primarily plant-based vanlife girly I loved getting to sit down at Cait’s table for a week of tasty dinners expanding my own vegan recipe book while visiting her during my east coast spring. After chatting with Cait I got to snag her partner and my friend Matt for a few minutes to talk to him about his own experiences since meeting Cait with becoming a primary plant-based eater as well.
