Vegan Baker Works Magic In The Kitchen
Natalia Lima is the founder and owner of the Curious Cat Bakery, a vegan bakery based out of St. Petersburg, FL. Natalia first made the switch to a plant-based diet in 2011 after watching a documentary about factory farming. Since then she’s devoted her career to helping animals — starting by eliminating any from her plate. She’s worked as a writer and publicist for animal rescue and protection organizations and after being unable to find a vegan dessert that would measure up to the ones she used to have, she set out on a new challenge to create the best-baked goods anyone’s ever tasted — that also just happen to be vegan.
Natalia has been featured in local and national press including NPR, VegNews, and the Tampa Bay Times. Her recipe eBooks and YouTube videos of tips on vegan baking have been viewed by thousands of people worldwide and her award-winning pastries have garnered a loyal and dedicated legion of fans that have called them “incredible,” “better than the croissants in Paris” and “pure magic.”
How To Make The BEST Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are going to be a frequent request in your household once you make them. They will be a family favorite for adults and kids alike. Everyone loves a good chocolate chip cookie!
Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- In a separate bowl, whisk together canola oil, sugar, brown sugar and water until it forms a homogenous mixture.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture and fold with a spatula until completely mixed.
- Add chocolate chips and use your hands to make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Cover the cookie dough and place in the fridge for 8-10 hours.
