Hello! I’m Liz Douglas, a former meat loving country girl turned vegan recipe creator and podcast host. Food has always been a big part of my life, and I used to work as a product developer and food buyer for some of Australia’s largest food retailers.
Although I spent many years working in the food industry, I wasn’t that much of a cook until I went vegan in 2019. I felt so inspired to experiment and recreate the flavours and textures of cheese, meat and eggs with new ingredients. At the time, I got a mostly supportive reaction from family and friends, but there were a few skeptical ones and I wanted to prove to them that I wasn’t deprived, and that vegan food could be delicious, filling and easy. So I started sharing photos of what I was eating on Instagram, and my career as a recipe creator slowly built from there.
When it comes to the types of foods I share, I try to eat in a mostly-healthy way, but without restriction – I love indulgent treats occasionally too! I’m best known for plant-based, wholesome twists on nostalgic comfort foods like Tofu Schnitzel, Cauliflower Alfredo, Healthy Instant Noodles and Mushroom Bourguignon.
I now have over 200,000 followers on Instagram @glowdiaries___ where I share videos of dinner ideas, hacks and vegan twists on the latest food trends.
I think plant-based eating should be accessible, balanced and fun – listen to your body, experiment with ingredients, and find joy in eating more plants! For more easy meal ideas, check out my blog glow-diaries.com :)
