As the vegan on MasterChef… nobody should be shocked by this series. I love eating out as much as I love cooking.

Living in Chicago means I never want to “check out” a restaurant in fear of there being no vegan options. And truly… it’s in my type A, Monica Geller soul to find them all and share them with you.

📍 Kasama
📍 Levain Bakery
📍 Noble Thai
📍 Demera
📍 Handlebar

Each one made the list for a reason, the kind of places that make you feel like you don’t have to compromise.

When people ask how we met 😂❤️🎬

#masterchef
“It kinda felt weird to eat our patients.” 👏 On #MasterChef, vegan vet nurses & wowed with a next-level banana blossom fish & chips 🐟🍟—proving you don’t have to give up comfort food to go vegan.⁠

As Courtney put it: “Going vegan didn’t mean letting go of the food I love—it just meant getting more creative.” ⁠

🌶️ Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni

I’ve been getting requests for my favorite creamy pasta recipe and this is it! I think we all deserve to have food that makes us feel special and comforted. This pasta is the perfect balance of not spending your whole night cooking while still feeling like you made something beautiful for yourself.

Proof that you don’t need to over complicate dishes. Simple is beautiful. 🪄

3 red bell peppers, quartered
1 Spanish onion, quartered
1 bulb garlic
Olive oil, as needed
Salt, to taste

1/4–1/2 cup reserved pasta water
2-3 Calabrian chilies in oil, optional
Rigatoni pasta, 4 servings
12 oz Maitake mushrooms
Fresh basil, chopped

METHOD

One of my favorite hobbies in Chicago is deep-diving restaurant menus to hunt down the best vegan options at non-vegan restaurants.🌱 Tip: always ask if there’s a separate veggie menu! Like half of these have separate menus

I never want being vegan to mean feeling deprived of Chicago’s food scene. I still want the buzzy reservations, the Friday night energy, the beautiful spaces, and the dishes everyone in the city is talking about. Some of the best chefs in Chicago are creating incredible vegan options right alongside everything else on the menu.

These are some of my favorite vegan-friendly finds in Chicago: (a good chunk of these are from my Fulton Market section)

📍Gaijin
📍 Il Carcio
📍 Mirra
📍Aba
📍 Duck Duck Goat
📍Momotaro
📍 Yummy Yummy Asian
📍 Rosemary
📍Doma Cafe
📍 Lao Peng You

If you’re vegan in Chicago, these spots prove you’re truly not missing out 🖤

Tacos Dorados is essential fried tacos with mashed potatoes and whatever else you wanna throw in there. And one of my biggest addictions. Honestly? Anything mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes on my death bed please.

No real recipe… just vibes. 🔮

🌮METHOD
Mash some potatoes with vegan butter, salt, and nutritional yeast until creamy.

In a skillet, fry up some oyster mushrooms in a little oil with taco seasoning (I like chili powder, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, and a little paprika). Cook until the mushrooms are crispy, then fold them into the mashed potatoes.

Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet. Fill your taco shells with the mashed potato mixture, then fry until golden and crispy on both sides.

Serve with shredded lettuce and a little vegan sour cream.

I’ve always seen life like a massive collection of connecting the dots. It all connects. And for me, it’s always been about the animals.

Find out how you can help the bears below! I’ll add the link in my story 🐻🐻🐻
Something special is coming to the farm this fall 🍂✨

On October 17, I’ll be joining chef Jenn Beach for a one-night-only Dine on the Land experience at Locavore Farm just outside Chicago. We are so thrilled to be collaborating on this experience together, to bring a vegan dining experience to the 2026 Chef Series.

There’s something magical about gathering around a table in the landscape, surrounded by the very land that shapes the meal. I’m deeply grateful for this opportunity and for the chance to cook in a way that honors the season, the harvest, and the land itself.

My mission on masterchef was to push boundaries and prove that vegan cooking belongs center stage. But I ended up learning and gaining SO much more.

Thank-you for following along ✨
