About Cristian

Food Enthusiast | Father | Home Cook

Hi! I'm Cristian, a passionate food enthusiast and father who loves experimenting in the kitchen. What started as cooking meals for my family has evolved into a journey exploring both plant-based and meat-based cuisines. Despite the name "Meatless," this blog celebrates all types of cooking - because great food shouldn't be limited by labels.

My Experience:

  • Years of daily cooking for family with diverse dietary preferences
  • Experimented with hundreds of recipes from various cuisines
  • Balanced approach to nutrition combining plant-based and meat dishes
  • Real-world testing in a busy family kitchen environment
  • Passionate about making delicious food accessible to everyone

My Cooking Philosophy:

I believe in flexibility and balance. Some days we cook amazing vegan meals, other days we prepare delicious meat dishes. Every recipe here is tested on real people (my family!) and adapted for busy home cooks who want great taste without spending hours in the kitchen.
