Hi I'm Meg!
—Long time Vegan, food photographer, recipe developer, and plant-based flavour enthusiast behind Basil and Bay.
I believe that eating more plants should feel exciting, not overwhelming.
That’s why every recipe on here focuses on approachable ingredients, minimal fuss and satisfying taste.
I'm currently studying to become a certified Vegan Nutritionist with Ecodemy, building on my passion for creating food that feels just as good as it tastes.
Let’s make plant-based eating easy, vibrant, and delicious — one meal at a time. 🌿
