My Story
Does It Vegan is as much a question for conventional recipes as it is an answer for my career and overall well-being.
No matter what else I’ve been, I’ve been a cook.
I’m Christi Corey, and even in the mayhem that is every teacher’s first year, I spent precious planning time designing menus: first traditional, then vegan.
Nevertheless, I was so dedicated to my students, I didn’t think developing another passion was possible. Then I received a fateful coupon for Rouxbe♥, an online cooking school. Before long, I earned a certificate in their Plant-Based Cooking: An Introduction course♥, followed by others for their Forks Over Knives course♥, their Culinary Rx course♥, their Essential Vegan Desserts course♥…
I’m now a top graduate of Rouxbe’s Plant-Based Professional Certification course♥.
And still taking more courses!
I’m also 12 years experienced in music education, from Kindergarten through college, with a GRAMMY nomination from my most recent high school students.
And I’m a mother.
With two precious children and their special needs, maintaining a dual professional life was increasingly unideal. After yet another move – 7 addresses and 6 schools over 9 years – restarting was simply unfathomable. My mental health demanded a singular, new path.
Does It Vegan? is as much a question for conventional recipes as it is an answer for my career and overall well-being.
I stopped my doctorate in choral conducting to focus on researching and presenting plant-based cooking instead!
This blog and all its offshoots – Ko-fi, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook – are for everyone.
Whether you’re replacing eggs for the first time or throwing a plant-based dinner party; skeptical about meat substitutes or comfortable making your own, I am here to help.

Wherever you land, you’ll find evidence of how I teach, cook, and think. I strive for clear and concise language, plus include checklists in my recipes. (How does anyone even survive without to-do lists?)
But best of all, there are no ads here because I myself can’t handle those distractions!
So, c’mon, let’s DIV in together. And if nothing here appeals, contact me with your ideas! I love to be inspired.
Gratefully* Yours,
Christi of Does It Vegan?
