HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. I am an academic by training and a foodie at heart, in a small but mighty body. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, and a proud “furry-mum” of two little lions. We are currently living in New York. When I am not dreaming of warm weather and the Mediterranean, I work, bake, play with the cats and consume more chocolate than anyone I know.

Shakingmytofu aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable and fashionable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring a little more light, peace, wellness, and mindfulness to our daily lives. Feel free to spend time, have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images and articles. Contact us anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com Look forward to hearing from you!
