About

Hey there!

Welcome to Simple Vegan Blog!

I'm Iosune, the recipe creator and cook, while my husband Alberto is the one behind the camera.

👩🏻‍🍳 A Little Bit About Me

Hi, I'm Iosune! Born and raised in Spain, my cooking style is influenced by Mediterranean cuisine.

I inherited my love for cooking from my grandparents. My grandfather’s vegetarian diet kept him healthy, and my grandmother’s cooking filled our home with wonderful aromas.

In 2014, I switched to a plant-based diet and, with my husband Alberto, launched this blog. He handles photography and tech, while I focus on recipes, cooking, and writing.

In 2016, I earned certification as a health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN). My travels have also led me to take cooking classes around the world.

When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm reading, traveling, or planning adventures with our children. Thank you for being part of this journey. Let's keep cooking together!

❓More About Iosune & the Blog

How did you learn to cook?

I’ve always loved food, and I come from a family of great cooks like my grandmother and aunt.

Since my mom wasn’t big on cooking, I took an interest early on and ended up doing most of it at home.

I’ve learned a lot from family recipes, books, and courses, but my travels around the world have also shaped my cooking style.

What is your cooking philosophy?

My cooking philosophy is simple: plant-based meals can be easy, affordable, and full of flavor using everyday ingredients.

For me, it’s all about making food choices that support our health and the planet.

I believe everyone deserves food that’s not only delicious but also good for you.

Every dish can be a treat while living a plant-based lifestyle.

Is plant-based cooking difficult?

Not at all! Plant-based cooking is super accessible and rewarding.

Once you get started, you’ll find tons of tasty ingredients and recipes to explore.

And as you go, you’ll realize it’s not as hard as it seems at first.

Remember, I’m always here to help with tips or recipe ideas whenever you need them!

Any simple plant-based recipes for beginners?

I’ve got plenty of beginner-friendly plant-based recipes for you. Start with my Vegan Cheese, Tofu Stir Fry, and Vegan Chia pudding.

Most of my recipes are super easy, using everyday ingredients you can find anywhere.

Plus, I include step-by-step photos and tips to help you succeed in the kitchen.

What are your favorite plant-based ingredients to cook with?

I love tofu! Tofu Recipes are my specialty and a hit with our readers.

It’s amazing how tofu can transform into sweet or savory dishes, soaking up flavors like a sponge.

I’m also a huge fan of extra virgin olive oil. It’s a key part of Mediterranean cooking, which I love.

And I can’t forget soy sauce! It brings that delicious umami flavor to dishes that I can never resist.
