Gordon Ramsay on The Ellen Show

Saké as a stir-fry seasoning? Yum!

Ellen Degeneres, talk show host and vegan advocate, invited Gordon Ramsay to The Ellen Show a couple of days ago to create a vegan stir-fry. Despite the bloodshed, the dish looks delicious. I can't wait to make it!

Introduction

Well, here goes nothing... I'm starting a blog!

Hi, my name is Annie. I live in upstate NY with my husband, Chris and our animal companions, Elsa and Guinness. A little over a year ago, we went vegan and have never looked back. So to celebrate our 1st vegan anniversary, I have created Levende Vegan.

I love to cook, bake and experiment. Well, sometimes I am a little self-conscious with the experimenting part, only because I am a perfectionist and type-A, but I am getting better! I explore the internet looking for inspiration and ideas for recipes, and try to blend them into something new.

The intent of this blog is to share appealing and doable recipes as well as bits of information I come across that I find interesting pertaining to a vegan lifestyle. I also want to point out, the intent of this blog is to not try to turn anyone vegan. There are too many converting-happy vegangelicals out there. My goal is to share with you what works with my family, ways to prepare food we didn't grow up with, and to think outside the box. Perhaps, my recipes will inspire you to incorporate vegan/vegetarian meals into your diet once or twice a week.

Happy reading!
