About Me

Hi, I’m Jenn—a vegetarian cook and professional food photographer & stylist.

Veg with Jenn is where I share approachable, thoughtfully crafted vegetarian recipes alongside the images that bring them to life.

I create food that’s meant to be cooked, enjoyed, and shared—recipes that feel elevated without being complicated. I care just as much about how food looks as how it tastes, which means everything here is tested, styled, photographed, and eaten with intention.

This blog is my version of a restaurant—minus the late nights and burnout. I get to cook, experiment, tell visual stories, and share food that feels both beautiful and doable. Welcome to my kitchen.

The Journey

I’ve been a vegetarian for 20+ years and it’s been a bit of a journey to find my own style and groove of cooking that is healthy, has all my proteins, while tasting great! I’ve lived all over the west coast; San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Seattle, and now in Spokane, WA. I’m always inspired by the variety of foods I’ve had along the way, from my favorite Thai place in Santa Barbara to the Indian place we’d have lunch at in San Francisco. I love to bring flavors into my cooking and always trying new things. This blog leads me to branch out and try new recipes and create, it’s wonderful!

Good Health

Healthy food is so important in our house, but we also love the occasional treat. I’ve worked hard to find a balance with great flavors and healthy ingredients.

Adaptibility

Some of my recipes are made without a lot of spice and that’s for my sweet daughter who loves my cooking, but isn’t a big fan of spicy foods. I know there are lots of families out there making recipes for several different tastebuds in the family. You can always add more spice, or a different protein to your dishes. No one else in my family is a vegetarian, except my daughter, so often times my dad will add some chicken to the soup I make etc. Being vegetarian doesn’t mean everyone around you has to. Cheers to us all being our own individuals and please enjoy my recipes, photos, and videos!
