Welcome to Likkle Vegan Tings! I’m Bethany, a passionate vegan chef, recipe developer and founder of Likkle Vegan Tings based in NYC. My passion for food evolved into a culinary pursuit that led me to the doors of culinary school at ICE, where I specialized in the Health Supportive program.
My upbringing in a Jamaican household filled with flavorsome dishes like oxtail, jerk chicken and stew peas shaped my palate. Yet, it was my personal struggle with anxiety where God steered me toward a plant-based lifestyle. In 2017, I embarked on a 30-day Vegan challenge, unaware there would be transformative results. Astonishingly, those 30 days became a pivotal turning point, profoundly improving my mental health.
2018: Likkle Vegan Tings was born
Creating Likkle Vegan Tings, wasn’t just about sharing recipes; it became a canvas for cultural expression and culinary exploration. I sought to debunk the misconception that vegan cuisine is limiting. Embracing the Jamaican motto ‘Out of Many, One People’, my platform celebrates diversity, inviting everyone to reconsider their relationship with food as a holistic experience — impacting us mentally, physically, and spiritually.
My platform resonates with the essence of Jamaican culture — resilient, diverse, and limitless. Much like the saying ‘We likkle but we tallawah’, Likkle Vegan Tings embodies the strength in small beginnings, a reminder that every small step towards change blossoms into something incredible.
Through Likkle Vegan Tings, I share my journey, offering a taste of Jamaican heritage, intertwined with global flavors. It’s not merely about converting diets; it’s about inspiring a mindful, inclusive approach to food. I believe food and cooking transcend boundaries, fostering connections and healing.
