Konstantinos – Beets Me

websiteinstagramfacebook

Konstantinos is the creator of vegan food blog ‘Beets Me’. He started cooking at the very young age of 9. And though at first he followed a career in art and design his passion for cooking won him over. After going vegan in 2008, he began experimenting with all the new ingredients he was learning about at the time and started working on new recipes or trying to veganize traditional Greek recipes.

By 2018 he decided that he wanted to share with the world what he had been learning. So, he created the food blog Beets Me and his YouTube channel (Beets Me). He regularly posts new recipes and offers tips and help to anyone asking.
