Heather Henson on being a writer

Tamasin Noyes, a Northern-Ohio based food blogger and author of American Vegan Kitchen, has been a vegetarian for nearly thirty years and vegan for much of that time. But even if you’re not a vegan, her blog, American Vegan Kitchen,  is worth a look. There is much here for the growing number of flexitarians among us who are trying to incorporate more healthy vegetarian options into our diets. Don’t miss “Food Network Fridays’, a recurring feature where Noyes and her readers makeover recipes from some of Food Network’s celebrity chefs, like Paula Deen’s crabcakes  and Guy Fieri’s Spicy Cherry Ribs. Wonderful photos and great recipes will keep you coming back.
