It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken

Hi! I'm Sam. Creator of the blog It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken and author of Fuss-Free Vegan cookbook.

I'm all about quick and easy vegan recipes that require easy-to-find ingredients- AKA I make vegan cooking easy!

BONUS POINTS: My recipes are totally drool-worthy delicious, too :)

I came from a family of foodies, chefs, butchers, and even hunters (yep it's true), so I never thought I would go vegan. But when I made the switch overnight, a new plan of attack formed: become the best damn vegan I could be! So I jumped into my kitchen and began veganizing all of my classic comfort food favourites, and before I knew it, I absolutely LOVED being vegan. Now I'm a strong believer that any recipe can be veganized and taste just as good, if not better than the original recipe.

Bon Appetegan,

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken

I remember a specific day back in 2012 when I first went vegan.

It had been a long day of work at my office job, and a bunch of traffic on the way home to top it off. I was tired, I was hungry, I was hangry you could say...

It was now about 7pm, and I opened the fridge to see that I had nothing. No prepared food. Just a random assortment of veggies and a block of cold tofu.

As I was new to cooking vegan I had no idea what to make. And honestly, I was way too tired to try to figure it out.
Back then take-out wasn't even an option for me as I didn't know a single place that delivered plant-based meals.

So I just tossed together a salad, which honestly, wasn't very good. So I caved and ate an entire bag of potato chips (and it wasn't one of those small bags either). I knew this wasn't sustainable.

While I still love potato chips once in a while, I wanted to eat healthier... but not the boring kind of healthy. I wanted scrumptious food that was satisfying and full of flavor.

But I just didn't have time to cook every night.
I was too busy at work. I wanted to meet up with friends. And sometimes I just wanted to curl up on the couch and just relax.

Looking back now….

I wish I had access to when I first went vegan.

I created it specifically for people who are just like I was back then:
Wanting to eat healthy, tasty, plant-based meals, but not having much time to dedicate to the kitchen.

Does this sound like you?

If so you're going to love my new cooking course Meal Prep Masterclass!

In this class, I'm revealing all of the tricks, hacks, and techniques I have developed over the years to cooking quick delicious meals.

Every Sunday for four weeks in a row I'm going to show you how to prep 5-days of plant-based meals in just 90 minutes, live-streamed from my kitchen!

This will include 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners. How fun is that?

This is not about fancy intricate recipes that take hours to prepare. This is all about getting in and out of the kitchen as quickly as possible... but still making amazing, satisfying, healthy meals, that your friends are going to be jealous of.

Just imagine coming home from a long day with your tummy rumbling. You open the fridge and see a gorgeous display of meals that are ready to be enjoyed. Time to put your feet up and relax.

It’s TOTALLY possible to make 5-days of plant-based meals that taste amazing, are super satisfying, and are good for you, in just 90 minutes, once a week.

So it turns out that about 80% of my footage for my next video was completely out of focus. 😥 I could've rushed like a mad woman to film and edit a new video, but I decided it would be better to skip the stress. Instead, I will be posting a "what I eat in a day as a vegan" on my Instagram stories throughout the day, so hop over to Instagram and follow me @itdoesnttastelikechicken if you want to join me. 😋 I will also be taking next week off to spend the holidays with my friends and family, so if I don't see you on Instagram, I will see you in the new year. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.💖
Bon appetegan!
