    About Me

    I’m Mary Lin, vegan recipe developer, YouTuber, and cat person. Chinese Canadian, born & raised in Vancouver, BC (currently in Calgary, Alberta) on a mission to veganize all my favourite comfort foods from Canadian, Cantonese and other Asian cuisines! And make them easy without sacrificing flavour. What should I veganize next?
