About Trial and Eater
I’m Kelly and I’d like to welcome you to my vegetarian food blog! This site is documenting my journey of learning to cook beyond the basics, making it easier to approach a meatless lifestyle in the kitchen and while on the road.
At trialandeater.com you’ll find unique and easy approaches to vegetarian cooking, using products without artificial dyes or unnecessary preservatives, as well as some favorite vegetarian snacks and finds.
Growing up I much preferred baking, and I was not much of a cook. When I graduated college, I had a hard time cooking for just myself and inspiring myself to try new recipes. I didn’t know the first thing about cooking! My mother, being the creative cook of the family, would always say “It’s just trial and error.”
So, that’s how the name of Trial and Eater was eventually born, and this website was created in 2013 to share my trial and errors along the way.
Nowadays we source quality, kitchen-tested recipes from trained recipe developers, in addition to ones I create myself.
