My name is Sarah E. Brown, and I believe that queer food is vegan food, and vice versa.
As a plant-source only site, Queer Vegan Food posts only recipes that don’t include animal products of any kind. You will also find truly queer recipes here–like chocolate-covered kelp noodles, for instance–in an effort to expand the vegan culinary world beyond vegan cuisine which imitates the non-vegan food world (vegan ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, fake meat, mac n’ cheese, etc.) While this site will feature some recipes that fit the above description, its primary focus is, simply put, on the weird vegan recipes you’d likely not see on other blogs.
Additionally, I believe that people of all sexual orientations can benefit from adopting a diet that prevents cruelty towards animals. A vegan diet helps improve personal health and the health of the planet. Articles on this site are written with the goal of promoting freedom and joy for all human- and non-human beings. This blog welcomes diverse viewpoints and opinions expressed in a respectful, sincere way.
I am the author of The Queer Vegan Food Cookbook, an impressive series of delicious, unusual recipes with 100% of proceeds going to Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary.
I am one of the 21 women with an essay published in Carol J. Adams’ book Defiant Daughers: 21 Women On Art, Activism, Animals and The Sexual Politics of Meat, published in March 2013.
I am the Vegansaurus Raw Correspondent, and contribute regularly to vegan publications. I have written for Curve Magazine and worked with raw foodist/vegan medical doctor Gabriel Cousens, M.D. at The Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona. I am currently working on a book about the queer-vegan connection.

OMG… this rocks! Have you thought of creating Queer Vegan cooking classes online?
HA, nope, but thank you so much for your enthusiasm and comments, Sharon! I look forward to staying connected here and on social media!
[ Smiles ] Sarah, I LOVE your blog.
But, why did you choose the name, “Queer”?
Why not? It encompasses my belief that all people of all orientations can benefit from a cruelty-free diet, and that inventive plant-based cuisine is “queer” in that it challenges social eating norms.
You look cute
