Terrapin Christensen
I'm a jazz drummer and aspiring game developer. My passions include music and gaming, my hobbies include writing, working out, and snowboarding (when I go home to Chicago for the winter).
I grew up cooking with my dad in Chicago, who is still one of the best chefs I know. While I wasn't hugely into cooking, I learned a lot of basic recipes for surviving on my own that I use to keep my belly full. Over time I've developed more of an appreciation for cooking and I enjoy making protein based meals for my post-workout.
- Drink: Water (stay hydrated!)
- Food: Orange Chicken
- Treat: Boston Creme Donuts

As a Seattle native, I love hiking, camping and traveling. I also spend my time as a permanent makeup artist or creating ice cream recipes.
Over the past few years my relationship with food has drastically changed due to developing over 200+ food allergies. Since then, I’ve tirelessly been on the hunt to find or develop foods that are safe for not only myself, but others who suffer from similar dietary restrictions.
- Drink: Milk Tea
- Food: Cá Kho (Caramelized Catfish)
- Treat: Ice Cream

Though I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY I'm a recent LA transplant who's VERY excited to have a year without scraping ice off car windows. In my spare time I love gaming, textile arts, watching horror movies, and spending time with my two rabbits (Boba and Miso) and my partner, Micah.
I spent so much of my childhood in the kitchen with my Oma which imparted a strong connection of food to family, culture, and history. Our family cookbook goes back over 4 generations!
It's been fun and challenging to take these recipes and make them my own with a vegan twist.
- Drink: Rose Latte
- Food: Miso soup
- Treat: Creme Brûlée
