I love three things in life: my wife, my cats, and a good meal with a glass of wine. When I met Simona, it was easy to leave meat, dairies and fish behind... I don't miss it! Being vegan has never been a challenge. Over time, Simona and I started to prepare meals together and I discovered that I like cooking too! So, this is my blog... from husband to a vegan cook in one click!
