Welcome to my new blog. Here I will be sharing some of the recipes I have been developing over the years to maintain a healthy vegetarian lifestyle. And let me tell you, everytime I prepare any of these recipes, people RAVE!!! – even the meat-eaters. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Why the name, Karma-Free Cooking? I’ve been asked what does it mean… well, here it is:
The law of Karma is a universal law, just like gravity, you don’t need to know it or believe in it to be affected by it. Another way the law of karma is also known in the Law of Cause and Effect – for every action or thought there is a reaction of equal proportion. There’s good actions that generate a good reaction and not-so-good actions generating equal and proportionate not-so-good reactions.
Most people associate the word “karma” mainly with the not-so-good reactions derived by the not-so-good actions. So, among my vegetarian friends, we coined the phrase “karma-free” when we do things that will not yield a negative karma to ourselves.
That’s how Karma-Free Cooking was born.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please share with me, and all others visiting, your thoughts. That way we can all learn from each other.
So glad I found this site! It’s awesome!

Are all the cheeses you use rennet free or do they use synthetic rennet?
Thanks!
KFC – When I purchase cheeses I read the labels well. I do not buy any cheese that says plainly RENNET or artificial colorings on the label. I have purchased cheeses saying VEGETARIAN RENNET and have also purchased cheeses at the Murray Cheese shops in NYC that use thistles instead of rennet as coagulants. Hope this helps…
Hello!…nice post…mmmm panas!!!(breadfruit)…
I’m so lucky…I can taste your kfc…
KFC – Definietely!!! Locals have their priviledges…
Madelyn, I like your site, but your whole “karma-free” thing is just completely incorrect. Karma refers to ramifications of ALL actions, not just bad ones. By not eating meat, you are creating GOOD karma for yourself because you are not contributing to the suffering and slaughter of animals.
Nothing in this world is “karma-free”!!!!!
Trust me on this one – I am Indian and a well-read Hindu so I know the intricacies of karma.
KFC – Yes Cassie, you’re right. That’s exactly what I mention in this post. The term karma-free was coined among friends to denominate something that was OK to eat . We also know and understand we create good karma when we do good deeds. Karma-free is just a fun term that creates a nice alliteration when combined with the word COOKING. And that had little to do with Karma, that’s just Marketing…
This is an amazing blog. I seriously want to try all of your recipes. Thanks!
