Flavors of my Childhood

Being from a mixed race background (my mom is Russian and my dad is Congolese) and moving continents at the age of 8 years old, I was exposed to a multitude of flavors very early on in my life.

Many recipes I grew up eating hold a very special place in my heart and I hope that as my food knowledge grows, I am able to share more veganized versions of my childhood classics with you.

This list features recipes (sometimes actual other times inspired by dishes) I have eaten in Congo, in my grand parent’s kitchen in Ukraine, as well as in Canada when my family moved continents.
