ZIZO COOKS VEGAN

Humans are compassionate species; but we extend our compassion to only the things we consider worthy in our eyes.  In my attempt to be compassionate to all, I became vegan. 
Zizo cooks vegan is here to share the food that a non professional home cook can make. The recipes are simple and do not require special ingredients. 
 So, sit back, relax, and read on.
