Hey there! I’m Asher Socrates, the creative visionary behind Cowboy Cooking Vegan. With a decade of veganism under my belt, I curate and share my favorite plant-based vegan recipes and healthy lifestyle choices.
Growing up in the heart of Los Angeles, CA my culinary roots were deeply entrenched in the tradition of hearty, meat-centric meals. Yet, even as a young buckaroo, I felt a yearning for something more, something that aligned with my values on health, compassion and sustainability.
Over a decade ago, I stumbled upon the transformative power of veganism while researching how to lower my high blood pressure and bad ( LDL cholesterol ) cholesterol levels. It was like stumbling upon an oasis in the desert. Suddenly, I realized that I could indulge in delicious, satisfying meals without sacrificing my health and well-being, while helping our animal friends and this precious planet.
Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle wasn’t without its challenges. From navigating social gatherings to relearning the ropes in the kitchen, there were moments when the trail seemed daunting. But with perseverance and a sprinkle of cowboy grit, I embraced the journey wholeheartedly.
Fueled by my passion for plant-based living, I launched Cowboy Cooking Vegan as a beacon of inspiration for fellow cowpokes seeking wholesome, cruelty-free cuisine. Here, you’ll find a corral of mouthwatering recipes, from smoky BBQ jackfruit tacos to savory lentil chili that’ll warm your soul on a cold dark night.
But Cowboy Cooking Vegan isn’t just about recipes; it’s a celebration of holistic wellness! Join me as we explore the vast prairies of health and mindfulness, from yoga, to vegan retreats under the big Texas sky and beyond. I look forward to sharing healthy lifestyle and sustainable living tips that will honor our health and planet’s bounty.
Join me for a flavor-filled journey as I prepare delectable vegan meals from traditional American dishes, innovative fusion recipes, and exquisite fine cuisine!
So, whether you’re a seasoned ranch hand or a city slicker looking to embrace the healthy cowboy way, Cowboy Cooking Vegan welcomes you with open arms and a hearty “Yeehaw!” Let’s rustle up some plant-based goodness together and blaze a trail toward a brighter, more compassionate future. Saddle up, partner—it’s gonna be one heck of a wild ride!
