Namaste, welcome!
Nice to see you on My Elephant Kitchen!
I am Shiruna. And I run this blog together with my parents. Yes, you heard that right, we all do it together!
“You are what you think and eat”, is a saying that has been passed over generations in our family. And this is the philosophy behind My Elephant Kitchen.
My mom and I have always been Vegetarian but we turned Vegan in December 2019 together with my dad who used to eat, well *ahem* let’s just say, a wide variety of foods. We made the shift together as a family. It started out as a challenge but soon it bacame our new normal. And we have never gone back since!
I have always loved cooking. Both my parents as well. As a child, I would often just sit in the kitchen for hours and observe someone from my family cook. I find it very meditative and relaxing to watch simple ingredients turn into a beautiful and satisfying meal. This is true magic in my eyes.
My Elephant Kitchen, brings to you delicious vegan cooking recipes, resources and heartwarming stories for a better lifestyle. We share our favorite recommendations, and take you along on our adventures.
Why the name “My Elephant Kitchen”, you ask? It’s simple. Indian Elephants are my favorite animals and they completely represent my spirit. First of all, they come from my home country, India. They are strong and bold creatures, to whom family means everything. They are constantly eating, and are the largest plant-based mammals. They have a huge foot but a very small ecological footprint. Magnificent, isn’t it?
And in case you are wondering why you don’t see my parents on here? Well, they are a bit camera shy, but if you read through our website, you might actually catch some glimpses of them!
