Konstantinos – Beets Me

Konstantinos is the owner and creator of the vegan food blog Beets Me. He started cooking at the very young age of 9. And though at first he followed a career at art and design his passion for cooking won him over. After going vegan back 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 learned all the past years about vegan cooking. So, he created the vegan food blog Beets Me and his YouTube channel (Beets Me). Ever since he has been posting 2 new recipes every week and offers tips and help to anyone asking. Also, since the spring of 2019 he has been part of the Vegan22 Greece group as a mentor and food specialist. Offering guidance to people who wish to turn vegan but struggle with the process.
