Madelyn Rodriguez

Madelyn is a lacto-vegetarian, living in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She became a vegetarian after practicing Yoga seriously 15+ years ago and over the years, she developed an increased appreciation for cooking and developing recipes. For Madelyn, being vegetarian goes beyond just not eating meat or animal products. It has to do with having the most natural and organic lifestyle possible – avoiding soft drinks, chemical additives and medications, canned foods, or foods cooked a long time ago, among others.
Tired of listening to the bad rep Vegetarian cooking had, in 2007 she started the vegetarian blog KarmaFree Cooking, to share how a vegetarian lifestyle and diet is something delicious, healthful and easy to follow and enjoy. “We try to bring a positive spin to the vegetarian lifestyle. It’s all about inclusion and not about what you “can’t” eat anymore”, emphasizes Madelyn. KarmaFree Cooking is available on Facebook, on Twitter with the handle @karmafreecookin, on Pinterest and in Spanish on KarmaFree Cooking en Español.
