🍴 The Story Behind the Plate that Changed Everything
This video ended up getting over 11,000 views on TikTok, but what’s funny is that when I first created this meal, I wasn’t thinking about going viral.
I was simply trying to solve a problem.
At the time, so many people thought plant-based food meant giving up the comfort foods they grew up loving. They pictured bland salads, boring vegetables, and meals that felt more like punishment than enjoyment.
I wanted to challenge that idea.
So I created a meal that felt familiar, comforting, and full of flavor: crispy oyster mushrooms, creamy mac & cheese, candied yams, and all the things people thought they had to give up to eat differently.
The reaction was always the same:
“Wait… this is vegan?!”
And honestly, that became my favorite part.
Not because I wanted to trick people, but because I wanted to show them that eating more plant-based foods doesn’t have to feel restrictive.
Looking back, this meal taught me something bigger.
I realized I could only serve so many plates, but I could teach an unlimited number of people how to make these meals for themselves.
That’s a huge reason why Taylor’d Cooking is evolving from selling plates to teaching recipes, cooking skills, and building community.
So if you’re here, welcome. 🤎
My goal isn’t to make you perfect.
It’s to help you build confidence in the kitchen, one meal at a time.
👇 I’d love to know:
What is one comfort food you wish you could learn how to make plant-based?
And if you’d like me to break down the techniques behind this meal, let me know below. That may become our next lesson.
