Deirdre grew up in Ireland. She welcomes her visitors to her little corner of the internet, The Fiery Vegetarian, where she posts vegetarian and vegan recipes with an emphasis on spice. Deirdre has been vegetarian for over twenty years now, and she doesn't miss meat at all. She originally made the decision because she just wasn't okay with the deaths of animals, but now she also firmly believes that vegetarianism is better for the environment. She was vegan for three years previously, and she still regularly eats vegan food.
She bakes vegan cakes and bread for her kids, quick soups and midweek dinners, and at the weekend, she likes to make more complicated recipes that copy their restaurant favorites. She's constantly looking for and experimenting with new recipes as she's pretty obsessed with food! This means that in her free time when she's not working on her blog, she's reading other recipe blogs. She has a long backlog of recipes to get through, and then she plans to spend a lot of time developing new ones, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, drop her a line! She loves interacting with readers, so feel free to comment or reach out to her on social media.
On this blog, a reader can expect to find mainly vegan recipes with the odd vegetarian one thrown in, lots of spicy recipes, sweet treats, and a mix of easy recipes and ones that are a bit more involved for some spectacular show-stopping centerpieces at dinner parties and events.
