Hello! I’m Becca Heyes 👋
I’m a vegetarian of 25+ years (yikes), full-time food blogger, and cheese eater extraordinaire. I’ve been sharing my hearty vegetarian comfort food here since 2011, and over the past 15 years, I’ve shared over 700 simple vegetarian recipes.
I’ve helped millions of vegetarians (and non-veggies too!) create veggie-packed food that is delicious, satisfying, and genuinely exciting.

👩🏻🍳 About Becca Heyes
I stopped eating meat over 25 years ago out of pure stubbornness, and am now a full-time food blogger with 15 years of professional recipe development experience (funny how these things work out!). All of the recipes you see here on ECV have been created, tested and photographed by me in my own kitchen.
I live with my husband (drummer and leader of the best UK wedding band!) and our two incredible daughters. Only two of us are vegetarian, so all my recipes are meat-eater approved too – no rabbit food here.
Before becoming a full-time blogger, I trained and worked as a primary school teacher. I do think this experience influences how I write recipes – they’re always clearly structured, step-by-step, and easy to follow.

🧀 About Easy Cheesy Vegetarian
Easy Cheesy Vegetarian is a vegetarian food blog that’s packed with simple, reliable veggie recipes. Whether you’re a vegetarian or not, you’re welcome here.
This is a judgement-free zone – whether you’ve never eaten meat in your life, or your only experience with vegetarian food so far has been the occasional margherita pizza (or anything in between), I’m glad you’re here!
A quick note on AI…
You will never see any AI-generated recipes here on ECV. Every recipe on the site has been cooked and photographed (and eaten!) by me, a real human (I promise I’m not a robot!).

🍛 About my Simple Vegetarian Recipes
The 700+ vegetarian recipes I’ve shared here are always simple and straightforward, and full of flavour. I cook by three main principles:
- I don’t believe in using ‘weird’ or hard-to-find ingredients – it’s very rare you’ll find me using an ingredient that you can’t find easily in the supermarket.
- I’m a busy person (and perhaps a little lazy…), so I include no unnecessary cooking steps, minimal dishes, and clear instructions. One pot recipes are my favourite!
- I love food! Which means I don’t do tiny portions of fussy food. I like good, hearty meals with lots of flavour. Casseroles, pasta bakes, curries, stews – this is the kind of food I love.
