About | Urban Veghead

Hi, my name is Lisa and I have been a vegetarian for over half of my life. This blog has evolved from one that just featured baking and cooking recipes to one that includes other things I like: crocheting and data analysis/data science.

I’ve been baking and cooking ever since I can remember. I usually had a seat or a step stool to stand on in the kitchen when my mom or grandmas cooked or baked because I was always curious about what was going on and was eager to help out. I owe what I know to my mom and grandmas who showed me the way around the kitchen and I’ve felt comfortable there ever since. I think food brings people together and creates food and sensory memories that connect us to our past. For me, there’s not much that’s more enjoyable than cooking with someone, or making a meal for someone. I think everyone has the ability to cook and bake, and I highly suggest trying both out. There’s nothing super fancy here; just simple vegetarian and vegan recipes. I hope to capture several of my culinary attempts here on this site and I hope that you enjoy the recipes. I also hope to share my current crochet works in progress (WIP) and posts about all things data.
