Welcome to We Ate Well
If you’re a long-term vegetarian looking to rethink your meals with more protein and fiber, you’re in the right place. 💚
Hello and welcome! I’m Vasudha Viswanath, a lifelong vegetarian, cookbook author, and founder of this community. In my mid-30s, I reversed prediabetes by reimagining vegetarian cooking: bringing more protein, more flavor, and more balance to the plate.
Since then, my mission has been to help other vegetarians (and the veg-curious!) eat in a way that feels both nourishing and joyful—without giving up the foods you love. My approach is rooted in bold flavors, global inspiration, and practical systems that make healthy eating sustainable in real life.
All My Resources in One Place ✨
Over the past few years, I’ve built a library of resources, recipes, and experiences to make vegetarian cooking more nourishing, protein-rich, and joyful. Whether you’re here for a quick weeknight dinner, a deeper dive into resetting your cooking, or a hands-on workshop, everything I offer lives here—so you can pick what fits your life right now.
