On this blog I share my own vegan and gluten-free recipes. Since moving from Germany to New Zealand, I have re-discovered my love for cooking and baking. Now that I&#8217;ve collected so many recipes over the years, I decided that it is time to share them! And there are more and more to come \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nI first went vegan in 1998. In 2013 I realized that I&#8217;m gluten-intolerant. At first I thought my diet would be very restricted. But then I started to learn the basics of vegan &amp; gluten-free cooking and baking. Soon after, I created one yummy recipe after another. At the same time I had a critical look at my sugar consumption. The more I read about sugar and its negative impacts on health, the stronger was my motivation to go sugar-free&#8230;<br \/>\nI have now been gluten-free and sugar-free for almost 2 years, and definitely don&#8217;t wanna go back! I have never felt as healthy as now \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nWhen it comes to food, I believe that it should be as least processed as possible. I try to use very small amounts of starches and oils. Whenever possible I buy organic, seasonal and bulk to reduce my waste and the impact on environment. All my food is made from scratch whenever possible. It just tastes so much better!<br \/>\nWhen I&#8217;m not in the kitchen creating new recipes, I love to hang out on the beach (and in the water), go cycling, rock-climbing, hiking, camping or tending to my pretty little organic vege garden.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/About-Me.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1475\" src=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/About-Me.jpg\" alt=\"Vegan Gluten-free Monster About Me\" width=\"600\" height=\"405\" title=\"\"><\/a><br \/>\nThings that I love: all colors and flavors of veges and fruits, MUSIC (where would be be without it?), art in general, appreciating the little things and walking my own path&#8230;and much more, but I don&#8217;t wanna bore you \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/About-Me2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1476\" src=\"https:\/\/theveganmonster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/About-Me2.jpg\" alt=\"Vegan Gluten-free Monster About Me\" width=\"600\" height=\"405\" title=\"\"><\/a><br \/>\nI hope you enjoy my recipes as much as I do!
