Bake and Destroy
Hi, I’m Natalie. I live in Chicago with my husband Tony, our son Teno and two little dogs, Lulu and Flapjack. I started Bake and Destroy in 2006 while on while on maternity leave. In a previous life I worked as a baker while I studied journalism in college, so food blogging seemed like a good way to combine all the stuff I like.
Bake and Destroy features original vegan recipes influenced by punk rock, heavy metal, junk food and maybe a bit of pro-wrestling. I also occasionally interview chefs, indie designers and other interesting folks.
I’ve appeared on several TV shows including Food Network, The Cooking Channel, and WTTW Chicago Tonight as well as on the pages of Time Out Chicago and Bust Magazine, and have been fired from more reality TV shows than you can imagine.
My first book, Bake and Destroy: Good Food for Bad Vegans, was published in August 2013.
