<p>This week, I sit down with Chef Adina Mullen—a culinary artist, TV host, and author of Vegan Flavors of the World.</p><p><br></p><p>Adina didn’t just stumble into plant-based cooking; she was pushed there by severe allergies to casein and eggs. But instead of seeing limitations, she saw a blank canvas. We talk about her journey from aspiring wedding cake decorator to traveling the globe, researching cuisines from Brazil to Ethiopia, and translating those memories into accessible plant-based recipes.</p><p><br></p><p>We dive into the &quot;food as art&quot; philosophy behind her cookbook (and that stunning pepper cover), why texture matters more than taste when mimicking meat, and how she sneaks &quot;tiramisu cheesecake&quot; past unsuspecting dinner guests. Adina also shares why home cooks shouldn&#39;t be afraid of vegan substitutions and gives us a peek into her upcoming volume two.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’ve ever been curious about plant-based cooking but felt intimidated by the ingredients—be sure to listen.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guest:</strong> Chef Adina Mullen <strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://adinasdelicacies.com/">adinasdelicacies.com</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Cookbook:</strong> <em>Vegan Flavors of the World: Part 1</em> (Available on Amazon ) <a href="https://a.co/d/j2ofZVv">https://a.co/d/j2ofZVv</a></p><p><br></p><p>Socials</p><ul><li><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/adinasdelicacies?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==">https://www.instagram.com/adinasdelicacies?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==</a></li><li><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091552262717">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091552262717</a></li><li><strong>Youtube: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@adinasdelicacies">https://www.youtube.com/@adinasdelicacies</a></li><li>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@adinasdelicacies?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc">https://www.tiktok.com/@adinasdelicacies?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Listen to the full episode and more!
