Vegetarians hear repeatedly, “What do you eat?” and it’s with this very phrase that Sans Carne was born. 
The answer: Everything … just without meat!
Becoming vegetarian can be an overwhelming experience because the majority of your friends and relatives are against you and unfortunately want to see you “slip up.” So it’s important to come out of the gate with the knowledge of what to cook and how to get the right nutrients.
And for those of us who have been in the game for a number of years, finding new recipes starts to become a chore.
Sans Carne is all about vegetarian or vegan meals that aren’t complicated to make, don’t contain unpronounceable ingredients, and provide the health and nutrients that we need.
My name is Sarah Taylor and as your Sans Carne show host you will find that I’m quite ordinary. I didn’t go to culinary school, I don’t have fancy kitchen gadgets, and I will probably pronounce some things incorrectly. I became vegetarian back in 2001 and am proud to say that I’ve never looked back. Through the years many friends and relatives have been curious about what I cook and I’ve learned that it’s important to have a good answer and be able to stick up for your beliefs. I always say I’m lucky because my husband, Frank, isn’t a picky eater. He will try anything I make and I’m fortunate that he doesn’t complain about missing meat. We both have full-time jobs and are also college students so finding the time to eat healthy is a priority that we want to maintain. All the recipes that I cook on the Sans Carne show are ones that we’ve tried and have really liked.
The name Sans Carne was created by Frank while we were at the beach one day. In a discussion with friends he mentioned how my diet was “sans carne” or “without meat” and we all laughed at the terminology. While it does mix Latin and Spanish, it has kind of a catchy sound and I’m stickin’ with it!
