Hello World!
My name is Anastasia, I am the person behind Slavic Vegan. I was thinking about starting a food blog for years, but until now that was not more than just thoughts.
I turned vegan in 2015 almost overnight. I always liked to experiment and play with the food. Becoming vegan made it even more fascinating. I opened a whole new world of flavors, and I learned how food could be both delicious and healthy.
Past few years I spent continuously traveling. I was amazed at how easy it was to find vegan food almost anywhere in the world. I’m going to share my experience as well as my favorite recipes.
Most exciting for me is to veganize the dishes I was eating as a child, all these hard-core Slavic classics. I live in a country where vegans are still considered freaks. Sometimes I have to go hunting for tofu or soya milk literally. There is a poor variety of fresh veggies and fruits in the stores. So I improvise a lot and practice magic from time to time. My every post is proof that if you have a strong will and beliefs – everything is possible!
Everybody is welcome here to share their thoughts and opinions. Looking forward to your feedback!
Update: I added a DONATE button. During this difficult time, I really need your support. If you’d like to request a recipe, let me know. I’m open to working with special diets as well.
Love & Peace,
Anastasia

Hello! My name is Ash and I’ve been vegan since about 2015 myself. I adore all of these recipes and originally found it when I went hunting for a vegan plov that didnt use so much oil. As a lover of experimenting in the kitchen, I can’t wait to try some of these!
Hello Ash!
Thank you for your feedback and I hope you’ll enjoy my recipes 🙂
I am so thankful for your blog! The main part that makes it hard of being vegan is all the traditional foods I’ve grown with that by far weren’t vegan. I am so excited to try your recipes, finding your blog made me absolutely happy! 🙏 thank you
Thank you so much for your feedback, Daria!
I hope you’ll like my recipes 🙂

Anastasia,
First I hope that you are okay. The news is so disturbing.
I have a small cafe in West Virginia. We serve vegetarian and vegan food and I love this recipe blog. I will be featuring Ukrainian foods this month in our cafe, in solidarity, i will think of you daily.
Take care,

Hi Anastasia, I’m Chef Randall from Rouxbe. Are you ok? We’d like to talk about vegan food and raise money for Ukraine. Are you in a position to discuss? I worked in Kyiv and Sevastopol from 2000-2006 every summer.
Hi Randall.
I am safe, thank you!

Hi Anastasia!
Fellow slav here! (Serbian).
I became a vegan in 1982 which lasted for 9 years. I have since remained vegetarian and eat dairy…
I came across your gibanitza recipe and my mouth dropped lol. My favorite Serb food!
I totally get feeling freakish among the third people for being vegan!
(Can you even imagine what that was like in the 1980s LOL)?
But I found that most of the people at church, along with my family, finally just gave in 😊.
Trust me, you’ll be a lot healthier and happier than most and if you happen to be long to the Orthodox church, you can take communion every single week too 😆 (a nice perk for all of your hard work).
Now that I have found you, I look forward to your other recipes! I have been wanting to give up dairy for the longest time but it’s been hard to find really good cheese substitutes, although I must say they have certainly come a long way in the last 20 years!!!
Keep up the great work and feel free to look me up on Facebook if you like!

Hi Melisa!
What a great story! My non-vegan Serbian friends are always making fun of me so I know what you mean 🙂
Thank you!
Anastasia
Hello Anastasia,
I haven’t tried your recipes yet but I’m looking forward to it. They look fantastic. I hope you’re safe and doing well.
Hi Ella!
Thank you! I’m thinking of coming back.
