** Veganakia [Wee-guh-nuk-yeah] = English-Greek mashup for (cute) little vegans (also my Greek husband’s nickname for our kids)

Hi there, lovely, fellow foodies!

I am SO GLAD you are here!

I am Dr. Baiduc, physician by day and chef by night.

Welcome to my vegan food blog.

I love experiencing “peace of mind with every bite” when I know that the food I eat comes from plants and not from living beings who had to suffer or die.

Here I want to share “veganized” recipes that mean a lot to me personally.

Since I am a German-Romanian who married a Greek my recipes will reflect that.

There is a reason we call it “comfort food” as there is a very special kind of peace we can get from food.

Food can take us to other places, other times and other people.

Food is how people connect, build community and show love.

I want this vegan food blog to be lighthearted and fun and to show the world that we eat much more than “just salad”. There will be yummy, healthy salads but also sinfully delicious family favorites like my delectable “German Chocolate Raspberry Mocha Torte”.

I commend you if you are vegan or plant-based for your health. Keep it up! It is so good! Make the adjustments to the recipes that you need to make but please do not SHAME or reproach people who don’t follow the same rules that you do. Progress over perfection!

I want this to be a safe space for everyone: no judging, no shaming, no hate speech!

Let’s get cooking… take me away to Germany, Greece and Romania!
Guten Appetit! Kali Orexi! Pofta Buna!
