About me

Enchanting to meet you, I'm Courtney <3

I am a veterinary nurse from Michigan. I discovered my love of cooking vegan dishes while volunteering with a group of bears in Vietnam. Food became more beautiful to me after that. I want these dishes to take you away, take you anywhere you want to go. I hope you get lost cooking these recipes from around the world. I hope you close your eyes on the first bite, and suddenly you are in Vietnam, sitting in a low blue stool, slurping a bowl of spicy noodles. Cheers and happy travels.

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce 🌿🫑 Cooking has alwa

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce 🌿🫑 Cooking has always been the thing that can bring peace into my life when I am in need of a reset. Sometimes I simply don’t want to commit to an extravagant meal that is going to take several hours, but I need to cook. My mind is often wandering, dancing around a cliff edge in a Portuguese wonderland and cooking is the roadmap to bring my head out of the clouds and back down to earth. It’s as simple as this… cooking is one of the purest things you can do for your soul. At least for me.

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 red bell peppers, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2-3 tablespoons oat milk
1 tablespoon pasta water
Salt
Pepper

METHOD
1. Toss bell pepper, garlic, and onion in olive oil. Bake at 425F for 30-45 minutes.
2. Blend all ingredients.

🌱 Pour over your favorite pasta noodles and top with fresh spinach or basil.

🥞 Russian Blinis (aka silver dollar pancakes) topped with creme fraiche and seaweed caviar

I am a firm believer that you are what you eat. You gotta look good to feel good. You put crap in your body and you will feel like crap.

That’s why whatever it is that I’m cooking, from a messy sloppy Joe to an elegant blini caviar… I remember that how I treat my food is how I treat myself. Taking the time to present and gather proper ingredients is an act of self love that we all deserve. So slow down, and make the beautiful dishes. 🌱

Oyster Mushrooms Sloppy Joes 🌱

As Veganuary begins in full force, I have been getting many requests for quick and easy vegan recipes. January is the month of rebirth. Resolutions run rampant as everyone plots how they will become the best versions of themselves this year. So whatever that version of you is, I hope you embrace it and find the peace and happiness you deserve this year.

Dry January🍾🫶🪄 4 years ago if I could lo

Dry January🍾🫶🪄

4 years ago if I could look into the future and see myself posting this, I would be clinically mind-blown.

I grew up in a very small town where drinking was life. As kids we started drinking under the train tressels or parked at Kroner Bridge until 4am. It was just simply the way things were.

Inevitably as kids we turned to adults and bridges morphed to dark bars and cigar smoke. I remember it all so clearly. I never felt dependent on alcohol, but I always drank it. I couldn’t remember a time I went longer than 4 days without a drink… not since 14. Its just the way things were.

4 years ago I hit this crossroad. I could so clearly see where I wanted my life to go… I could see it all in my head. But there was this looming distraction fogging the plan. The smoke, the liquor- it always delayed the plan. Daunting to flip things upside down because honestly, the plan was a lot of work. It was going through mental, physical, and emotional change to become the version of myself I felt at my core.

The plan was daunting, so i started with 1 month… and I told no one. I was never meant to last this long but 1 month turned to 3. And 3 months turned to 3 years. And I felt everyday turning to daylight. To feel a 15 year fog lift from your brain is magic.

I firmly stand in the believe that nothing would be what it is now if I hadnt went through this change.

💫 I wouldnt be in Chicago
💫 I wouldnt have this happiness
💫 Faraway Kitchen wouldnt exist
💫 My confidence would be hiding
💫 My creativity stunted
💫 Voice sushed

If you do anything for yourself this year, just give yourself a month. One month of pure clarity. You deserve that.

Vietnamese Lions Mane Bánh Mì 🌱🍄 Every so often I get a dish that takes me far away. The feeling becomes real that I’m right back wandering around Hanoi in search of a vegan banh mi with my long lost soul sister and follow bear rescuer @kelly.spence.357.

Vietnam is where I was taught how to stop eating animals. By wandering through the Asian alleyways, while almost being run over by motorbikes carrying entire families. Endlessly popping into random restaurants and asking “chay?!” (Or vegetarian)

🌱 I couldn’t wait to post this video but the recipe will come soon!! It’s sooooooo easy.

Oh hey, if you’re new here- I’m Courtney. Thought it was about time for a reintroduction!

💾 If I sound like your kind of people, follow @faraway.kitchen to get my plant-based recipes from around the world.

💫A little about me…

1️⃣ I live in the city of Chicago. I’m fascinated with our world and skipping around it. I’ve lived in Florida, Georgia, California, North Carolina, Vietnam, and even a semester in South Africa.

2️⃣ I work in Veterinary ER and will see ANYTHING. I’ve worked with everything from a herd of 60 rhinos to a flock of North American most endangered bird species (no pressure). Oh, and ask me about the time I anesthetized a cassowary. I could talk vet stories for days.

3️⃣ I live in a perpetual state of “sitcom energy.” It means I see the world as a stage and I’m constantly seeing storylines everywhere. And why I’m convinced I’ll meet the love of my life on the train as the doors are closing.

🫶🫶🫶 I’ve spent the last few years creating Faraway Kitchen as a magical space to escape through. Creating all my favorite meals from around the world.

Want to cook dreamy plant-based dishes but don’t know where to start?

💾 First, SAVE this reel so you can come back to my page later.

🌱 Then SHARE with a friend who has talked about going more plant-based.

🫶 Thank-you for almost 4K followers. Let’s cook so more delicious food in 2024!

Here’s what you’re going to do…

1️⃣ Find dishes from around the world that inspire you and TURN them plant-based. If you like an Italian spaghetti and meatballs give trying to cook a vegan version a try.

2️⃣ If your new to a vegan lifestyle, be gentle with yourself. Don’t go 100% right away. I gave myself 6 months to transition with grace. Burn out is real.

3️⃣ Go out to eat at vegan restaurants and try to recreate the dishes. This allows you to start deep diving online and learn the way. (DM me for my favs in Chicago… and spoiler most aren’t vegan, they just have GREAT vegan options.)

Instagram is all about sharing our creative passions with each other. So grateful to share my recipes here everyday.

Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos 🍠🌶️🌱 Getting creative in the kitchen in one of the joys of cooking and that is exactly where these Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos derived from. It’s great to have the same familiar dishes over and over again… it takes you back in time and wraps a warm fuzzy blanket around you. But often I am craving the unknown, some recipe that is simply concocted by scanning the kitchen in a game of Russian roulette and landing my gaze on a sweet potato.

I firmly stand in the believe that nothing would be what it is now if I hadnt went through this change.

💫 I wouldnt be in Chicago
💫 I wouldnt have this happiness
💫 Faraway Kitchen wouldnt exist
💫 My confidence would be hiding
💫 My creativity stunted
💫 Voice sushed

If you do anything for yourself this year, just give yourself a month. One month of pure clarity. You deserve that.

Vietnamese Lions Mane Bánh Mì 🌱🍄 Every so

Vietnamese Lions Mane Bánh Mì 🌱🍄 Every so often I get a dish that takes me far away. The feeling becomes real that I’m right back wandering around Hanoi in search of a vegan banh mi with my long lost soul sister and follow bear rescuer @kelly.spence.357.

Vietnam is where I was taught how to stop eating animals. By wandering through the Asian alleyways, while almost being run over by motorbikes carrying entire families. Endlessly popping into random restaurants and asking “chay?!” (Or vegetarian)

🌱 I couldn’t wait to post this video but the recipe will come soon!! It’s sooooooo easy.

Oh hey, if you’re new here- I’m Courtney. Thought it was about time for a reintroduction!

💾 If I sound like your kind of people, follow @faraway.kitchen to get my plant-based recipes from around the world.

💫A little about me…

1️⃣ I live in the city of Chicago. I’m fascinated with our world and skipping around it. I’ve lived in Florida, Georgia, California, North Carolina, Vietnam, and even a semester in South Africa.

2️⃣ I work in Veterinary ER and will see ANYTHING. I’ve worked with everything from a herd of 60 rhinos to a flock of North American most endangered bird species (no pressure). Oh, and ask me about the time I anesthetized a cassowary. I could talk vet stories for days.

3️⃣ I live in a perpetual state of “sitcom energy.” It means I see the world as a stage and I’m constantly seeing storylines everywhere. And why I’m convinced I’ll meet the love of my life on the train as the doors are closing.

🫶🫶🫶 I’ve spent the last few years creating Faraway Kitchen as a magical space to escape through. Creating all my favorite meals from around the world.

Vegan Chocolate Truffles 🥥🍫 It’s no surpri

Vegan Chocolate Truffles 🥥🍫 It’s no surprise I love a dreamy dessert. I’m most likely daydreaming about a dessert that will take me to a cobblestoned European winter market. But since I’m not there… I’ll just have to make my own.

🎄🎄🎄I make this recipe as easy and minimal as possible! You can always switch it up by adding other toppings like peppermint or nuts.

MAKES 6-8
INGREDIENTS
3 Vegan Milk Chocolate Bars (my favorite is @lovochocolate)
1/4 Cup Coconut Cream
1 Tablespoon Plant Butter
1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Coarse Sea Salt, to top

METHOD
1. Bring coconut cream to boil and pour over 2 chocolate bars and butter. Allow chocolate to melt while stirring. Set refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
2. Roll chocolate into little truffle balls.
3. Melt 1 chocolate bar along with coconut oil. Dip truffles and coat evenly in chocolate. Place to dry on parchment paper.
4. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and set in refrigerator to cool.

➡️➡️➡️ Just discovered that door dash delivers Lovo Chocolate from @jewelosco in Chicago. Check to see if you’re in range! If not they have a store locator on their website.

Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos 🍠🌶️🌱 Getting

Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos 🍠🌶️🌱 Getting creative in the kitchen in one of the joys of cooking and that is exactly where these Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos derived from. It’s great to have the same familiar dishes over and over again… it takes you back in time and wraps a warm fuzzy blanket around you. But often I am craving the unknown, some recipe that is simply concocted by scanning the kitchen in a game of Russian roulette and landing my gaze on a sweet potato.

➡️➡️➡️ Comment recipe and I’ll DM you the link to this recipe and maybe more of my favs.

🫶🫶🫶 Special thanks to the flashback emo music from high school. Who knew 34 year old Courtney would be using it for cooking videos 15 years later.

New Recipe: Creamy Walnut Sauce posted on www.FarawayKitchen.com 🌱

With the holidays quickly approaching, nothing makes more sense than the aroma of toasted nuts and garlic. This creamy walnut sauce takes all of 5 minutes and is so versatile. For this recipe, I pour the creamy sauce over a fresh pasta and top with toasted pine nuts and crispy garlic.
