Cookie and Kate began as a creative outlet in 2010, turned into a food blog in 2011, and became Kate’s full-time endeavor in 2014. The website has grown to become the most visited vegetarian food blog in the United States. Kate’s best-selling first cookbook, Love Real Food, was released on May 16, 2017.
Kind Words
“Of her vegetarian site, Kate notes, “This blog is all about celebrating good food—real, sustainable food that delights the senses and nourishes the body.” And it succeeds famously while not making readers feel like they have to live without (you’ll find desserts and cocktails, too). And wait: what’s the story with ‘Cookie’? That’s Kate’s sweet dog — you’ll sometimes see the little mutt in some of the featured photos.” — The Kitchn
“Kate Taylor definitely wins the award for the blog with most adorable sous chef (her gray-and-black speckled mutt, Cookie, who also serves as “chief crumb catcher”). Kate emphasizes fresh, whole foods in her beautifully photographed vegetarian recipes but also believes there’s room for dessert and cocktails in a healthy diet.” — Glamour.com
“This recipe comes from vegetarian food blogger, Kate, of Cookie & Kate. I love her blog because it’s chockfull of unexpected food combinations that approach the vegetarian and whole foods lifestyle with zest. Just because you choose to eat food close to the source and in season doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun. With her pup Cookie by her side, it seems like Kate is always playing it up in the kitchen, and it shows through in her recipes.” — Free People Bldg. 25 Blog
