About Me
My name's Cherry, I'm 30 (argh!) and I'm a primary school teacher. I live and work in Rugby, Warwickshire, but 'home' is Penrith in Cumbria, and I also spend a lot of time in London.
I've been cooking since I was 8 or 9, and have always been particularly fond of cake. I decided to go fully vegetarian when I was 16. I was perfectly happy with that and felt that I wasn't causing any suffering to animals. It didn't hit me until I was 21 that eating eggs and dairy actually DOES cause animal suffering, and that I didn't need to be doing that. "But what about cake!?" I thought. I immediately began experimenting with vegan chocolate cake, and created this website shortly afterwards so that other people making the transition to veganism had chocolate cake too. Since I went vegan, I've become even more interested in food and nutrition, and eat a FAR more varied diet than I ate before I 'gave up' meat, eggs and dairy. I'm always at a bit of a loss to answer the inevitable "so what DO you eat?" question because if I started listing everything I'd be there all day! I love trying new food and creating new recipes, so my website has continued to grow. It seems that it's still useful to people - reason enough to keep going! |
