About

Hi there and welcome to The Tofu Diaries – a mix of food, travel, photography, and all things vegetarian.

Once a week you’ll find a new vegetarian or vegan recipe; the rest of the time you’ll find travels tales, vegetarian travel tips, restaurant reviews, little treats, cruelty-free cosmetics, with lots of photos and more in between.

Behind the blog

My name is Natalie Tamara. I’m 28 29 years old and I live in Leeds. I’m a former EFL-teacher, with a Master’s degree in global development & gender, who now works in online PR.

I’ve been vegetarian for almost as long as I can remember and it has a huge influence on not only the food I eat, but the way I travel, the products I buy, and the clothes I wear. I’ve also had itchy feet for as long as I can remember and am always on the lookout for an adventure, near or far.

I started this blog as a productive outlet for all the photos I’m always taking, as a way to share them and hopefully as a way to improve. It is also something to inspire me to experiment with food more frequently and to write down the recipes I create, as well as a way to share my tips and insights into being a vegetarian traveller in over fifty-five countries and counting.

    Hello Natalie,
    I’m new to blogging, though not to travel and vegetarian food – I just read your tips for travelling vegetarian, and concur with all, and now after reading your ‘about’, I’m looking forward to reading more posts and trying your recipes… I also plan to include recipes in my blog, but haven’t got there yet, still in the early stages! Happy travels :)

      Hi Joanna,
      Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words. It’s always great to hear from other travelling veggies and of new blogs about travelling as a veggie. I think the more information about how possible it is out there the better! Good luck with your blogging journey :) Natalie x
