Hi, my name is Laura and Six Hungry Feet is where I get to share my passion for plant-based food with you!
I'm the author, content creator, and blogger behind Six Hungry Feet. Together with my husband Astra, we created this family website that started as a small side project where we could share our favorite recipes.
When we became parents, we realized that we needed inspiration for easy vegan and vegetarian recipes that the whole family could enjoy. Then Covid happened, so we had more time to create, explore, and enjoy new recipes from the comfort of our home. What started as a hobby now gets hundreds of thousands of views monthly and has become our full-time job.
So, here you have an Economist and an Engineer sharing their passions for vegan and vegetarian food as their full-time job!
Mission
Our mission is to make vegan recipes accessible to everyone, whether you're transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle, have been a vegan/vegetarian for some time, or you're simply a die-hard foodie looking to incorporate new flavors into your dishes.

Meet Luca and Lena, the inspiration behind this culinary adventure. These two foodies are dedicated recipe testers. Without them, Six Hungry Feet might never have come to life.
Achievements
Mediterranean Ebook. This summer, we wrote our first Ebook, focused on Mediterranean recipes from home. Our book, called Mediterranean Kitchen introduces the best of Mediterranean flavors to your kitchen.
Digital Products. Recently, we launched our Etsy shop, where you can find our digital products such as Meal Plans, or Healthy Eating Guides.
During our time around Asia, we did many cooking courses that gave us more confidence and knowledge about certain ingredients, plant-based proteins, flavors, and textures.
Coffee Course. We took a 2-day course in Vietnam where we learned about coffee grains, the process from the bush to the cup, and how to select and process the best coffee back home.
Thai Cooking Course. While in Chiang Mai, we joined a Vegetarian Cooking Course where we got a lot of information about Thai ingredients, flavors, and cooking methods. We learned how to make a proper Pad Thai, our favorite Red Curry, and Mango Sticky Rice.
Vietnamese Cooking Course. We also attended a 1-day cooking course in Hoi An, Vietnam. It was a full day where we got to go to the market, get our fresh ingredients, cook 3 delicious main meals, and enjoy our feast!
Malaysia. Even if we didn't take an official course in this country, we spent a good amount of time living there, so we got to try many different dishes, learnt as much as we could from the locals, and even got a few recipes that we made while in Malaysia. Check our Vegan Laksa Soup, or this delicious Gochujang Pasta.
In 2021, we decided to start our own cooking courses. We helped people become more confident with plant-based ingredients to create easy and tasty recipes.

What type of recipes can you find here?
Six Hungry Feet is a blog dedicated to plant-based recipes from around the world. Our recipes are influenced by our travels around Asia, our childhood in Spain (Laura) and Ireland (Astra), and by parenthood, which made us develop more and more family-friendly recipes. Most of our recipes come with gluten-free alternatives.
- Asian-style recipes. Our love for Asian food goes a long way! You'll be able to find many recipes from different countries around Southeast Asia, Japan, and India. From iconic dishes like Pad Thai, or Red Curry, to delectable options like Miso Aubergine, or Ramen. You can now cook your favorite Asian meals 100% plant-based.
- Mediterranean-style recipes. Because we live in the Mediterranean, and I grew up in Spain, you'll find recipes that I used to cook with my grandmother, my family recipes, or our favorite recipes from home like this Mediterranean Pasta Salad.
- Recipes from other places around the world. Middle-Eastern recipes, Tex-Mex, African recipes, etc. We love traveling, and this food blog is where we share all the recipes we discovered while traveling, trying new restaurants, reading cookbooks, and watching foodie TV shows.
- Classic recipes, now Vegan. If you're nostalgic for those classic childhood recipes or dishes you thought you'd miss after going vegan, we've got you. We've transformed numerous timeless favorites into vegan versions for your enjoyment. One of them is vegan Bolognese, as this is one of the meals I missed the most from my childhood.
- Family-friendly recipes. We know what kids like because we have two of our own, and like many other kids, they can be quite picky. You can find many nutritious recipes that young ones will enjoy. Luca and Lena's favorites are spinach Creamy Pasta, and Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup.
- Quick and easy recipes. While you can find some elaborated recipes on our website, because we enjoy spending hours in the kitchen, most of our recipes are quick and easy, as we are busy parents too! From one-pot meals to quick stir-fries, you will find everything you need for a busy weekday meal.
These are just a taste of the recipes you can find on our blog. Take your time to explore and find recipes that suit your needs and taste. Happy cooking!
