My name is Tajda (pronounced tide-ah, nickname Ty) and I'm the creator of My Vegan Minimalist.
I had absolutely no idea how to cook until I was 21. This is something I keep in mind when I develop & write every single recipe on this site.
My aim is to create dishes that everyone can make at home - this means no fuss, no fancy ingredients, and as affordable as possible.
Vegan food for everyone? That's my motto.
Originally from Ljubljana (Slovenia), I currently live in Manchester, UK.
