Author Biography

For Ohio native and author, Tamasin Noyes, developing recipes for American Vegan Kitchen came naturally. She has worked as a committed cookbook tester for many well-known vegan cookbook authors and has cooked in several restaurants. She grew up helping her mom in the kitchen and has loved comfort food since she was a kid. Tami also enjoys discovering vegan food options when traveling whether it's in a small town cafe, a local diner, or a metropolitan bistro.ôI love cooking because of the creativity in taking basic vegan ingredients and transforming them into delicious new dishes,ö she says. ôImprovising and creating recipes in the kitchen is a way to put yourself out there and discover common ground with others. I especially like the practicality of cooking (we all have to eat), as well as the art of it. To me, vegan cooking is the most nurturing thing we can do for our planet and those we love, and I've dreamed of creating comfort food for vegans for a long time.ö In addition to developing recipes, Tami enjoys food photography and took all the photographs for the American Vegan Kitchen photo insert.
