Meet Mandy Applegate

I’ve been cooking vegetarian food for more than 40 years, ever since I decided at 15 that meat-free food was how I wanted to eat. Back then, it took real effort to eat well as a vegetarian, and that experience taught me how to build flavor, cook with confidence, and make meals people genuinely want to eat.
Here on Splash of Taste, I share easy vegetarian recipes for real life. You’ll find comforting dinners, reliable sides, and everyday dishes that are simple to make, full of flavor, and tested in my own kitchen. Whether you’ve been vegetarian for years or just want more meat-free meals that actually work, you’ll find recipes here worth making again.
