I basically grew up in the kitchen. Some of my best memories are of watching my grandmother cook or standing on a chair by the stove to stir the pot while my pops and I made dinner. When I went vegetarian as a teen and then vegan in my 20s, it felt like I needed that kind of guidance once again. Since there weren’t any family members with meat-free cooking knowledge, I had to find some additional cooking heroes.

I’d love to hear about your cooking heroes! So many of you guys clearly have a connection with the kitchen…who taught you how to cook and how to love it?
