Our names are Marisa and Katie, this is the story of how Marisas Vegan Recipes came to be. 

In 2018 Maxine was born (Marisa’s daughter), after a difficult few weeks Maxine was admitted to the hospital where it was discovered she had an allergy to cow's milk, Cows Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA). We later discovered that Maxine is also allergic to egg and soya. All of these allergies are the same as mine (Marisa). 

After joining lots of groups with parents whose children have similar allergies, it became very obvious that so many people don’t know how to cater for these allergies. I wanted to help them so I started this blog. At this time I had a mostly vegan diet, but still ate meat on occasion. 

So much has changed since I started writing this blog;

I am now completely vegan, a single parent, more confident and I’d like to think helping lots of people cater for their families. 

Not long after I started this blog, Katie suggested making youtube videos. She helped make these videos once or twice a week, whenever possible. 

Slowly Katie has been doing more and more to help with the blog and I am proud to announce that she is now 100% my partner in this blog. 

Katie will continue making youtube videos, making recipes and now; writing blog posts, answering messages and helping keep up with facebook and instagram.
