Hiya! My name is Bekah.
And I am just a *little* bit obsessed with food. You know those people always taking photos of their meals – yeah that’s me.
I love sharing simple plant-based food inspiration! Here you can find easy and budget-friendly recipes, as well as some of my tips, tricks and thoughts on living a plant-based vegan lifestyle.
In March 2016, I radically changed my diet overnight and started on my plant-based vegan journey. I immediately fell in love with the vibrant foods and colourful bowls! I discovered a real passion for experimenting with recipes, taking photos of food, and sharing it on my Instagram where I have found such an inspiring and encouraging community. I’m excited to share here too! I love connecting with people and companies from all over the world and sharing how simple it can be to create tasty plant-based meals.
There’s much more to say on my health journey. But for now I just wanted to let you know that I certainly don’t have everything figured out. I’m very much still learning as I go. I’d love to have you come along with me and share in my bites of food, with bites of my life thrown in along the way =)
A few fun facts about me:
* I am a twenty-eight year old Hispasian (half Hispanic, half Asian), born and raised in Northern Virginia, USA and living in London, UK.
* Currently I am working on my PhD in music. I have a Masters and Bachelors in clarinet performance and orchestral playing. Though these days you can find me reading and writing much more than playing music as I’m writing my dissertation.
* Alongside my love for food, I enjoy travelling and exploring London, watching films and reading books (massive Lord of the Rings nerd and Harry Potter fan over here!).
* I am a Christian! I’ve been massively blessed with an amazing church family, which has been my favourite part of living in London.
* I never knew much about cooking until I changed my diet and was basically forced to start. But now the kitchen is my happy place! I mainly stick to very simple and easy meals, but in my opinion they’re always delicious.
* A couple years ago I was sending so many photos of my food creations to my family that my sisters encouraged me to start a foodie Instagram. @BitesbyBekah was born, which eventually led to the creation of this blog. I have made amazing friends on Instagram, and am constantly inspired and encouraged by this supportive community. I’d love to connect with you too!
