I am a vegan food blogger, recipe creator, food stylist, and photographer. My awakening through yoga & meditation guided my understanding of the importance of a vegan lifestyle for the mind, body, and soul and how it interrelates to non‑human animals we share the world with. In 2011, I began creating and preparing vegan recipes for my loved ones that eventually led me to create my blog, Lena’s Vegan Living. I have redesigned many traditional recipes from around the world, especially from European and Asian cultures.
