About NovelEats.com

NovelEats.com was started in October 2007 by me, Samantha. This is a vegan food blog where you will find vegan recipes, advice, and hopefully a pinch of entertainment. Every recipe is 100% vegan (and even though some recipes do not blatantly say vegan milk or vegan butter, etc., that’s pretty much implied).

About Samantha

Samantha in NYC *sniff, sniff*

I’m a 31-year-old online marketing professional living with my husband Matt and cat Pixel (who randomly appears at least once on the site) in NYC the Seattle, WA area. I was raised a vegetarian by hippies, and have only eaten meat by accident or by cluelessness. I’ve been 98.9% vegan for about four years. I’m not a fanatic vegan so I will eat vegetarian from time to time, but I do prefer this diet over any other I’ve been on in my life because I feel great and the food is still fantastic.

What do I do in my spare time when I’m not working, baking, cooking and blogging? I absolutely love gardening and have recently been trying to learn as much as I can about the awesomeness that is permaculture. Also, I’ve been known to log some solid time as a paladin in WoW (seriously). And now that we’re living on the West Coast, I’m learning how to be comfortable driving (watch out for me on the roads!).

Finally, I also really enjoy writing, and am available for writing projects. Feel free to contact me via the form below or you can drop me a line at ’samantha at noveleats dot com’.
