Hi there, and thanks so much for stopping by Leafy Plated! This is your cozy corner of the internet where vegetarian and vegan recipes meet everyday simplicity. Whether you’re looking for quick weeknight dinners, nourishing bowls, or ways to make more plant-forward meals your new normal, you’ll feel right at home here.
Maybe you’re exploring a plant-based lifestyle for the first time and don’t know where to start.

Whatever brought you here, you’re in the right place. 🙌
Who’s Behind Leafy Plated?
I’m Soumyadip Chatterjee—home cook, recipe developer, food photographer, and the heart behind Leafy Plated. I created this blog as a way to share my love for wholesome, plant-based meals that are both accessible and full of flavor. No complicated ingredients, no stuffy techniques—just recipes that make vegetables shine.
What started as a personal project has grown into something truly special—a community of readers from around the world who believe that food can be colorful, compassionate, and crazy-delicious all at once.
I now work on Leafy Plated full-time from my little home studio, testing recipes, photographing food, and sharing practical kitchen tips to help you cook more confidently—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro.
Why Leafy Plated?
Because eating more plants should feel inspiring, not overwhelming.
Here at Leafy Plated, you’ll find:
- Vegetarian and vegan recipes that are hearty, satisfying, and fuss-free
- Meal ideas for every season, craving, and busy schedule
- Tips for cooking with veggies in creative ways
- Guides and resources to help you feel more at ease in the kitchen
I believe in celebrating food in its most natural, colorful form—and I’m here to help you do the same.
When I’m Not in the Kitchen…
You’ll likely find me browsing local markets, geeking out over spice blends, or spending time with my family. I’m also a strong believer that a cup of tea can fix almost anything (especially when paired with a good snack).
