Introducing the wonderful vegan chef.

I am Chef Rachel Adina Mullen, known professionally as Chef Adina, a plant-based chef, author, and cultural food storyteller dedicated to preserving global culinary traditions through whole-food, plant-forward cuisine. I am the founder of Adina’s Delicacies, where I offer private chef services, catering, educational events, and media collaborations rooted in culturally respectful, nourishing food.

My work is guided by a deep belief that food is a powerful way to connect people to culture, health, and the land. My journey into plant-based cooking was sparked by a personal health crisis after discovering I was allergic to casein and eggs. This forced me to completely rebuild the way I cooked, which became the foundation for my creative voice and ultimately changed my life and career.

I am the author of the award-winning cookbook Vegan Flavors of the World Volume 1: A Culinary Exploration – Plant-Based Recipes from Every Corner of the Globe, which celebrates traditional dishes from around the world through a plant-based lens. I am currently completing Vegan Flavors of the World Volume 2: A Deeper Journey, continuing this global culinary exploration with deeper cultural storytelling. My books are designed not only as recipe collections but as cultural preservation projects.

I share recipes, cultural food education, and behind-the-scenes culinary work across my platforms:

In addition to my culinary work, I regularly appear on podcasts and media platforms discussing plant-based nutrition, sustainability, cultural foodways, and healing through food.

Looking ahead, I would love to visit Eritrea after speaking with Ruby during our podcast conversation on Global Plant-Based Living & Conscious Cuisine (SHEVEGA Podcast) to learn the ways of the cuisine, spices, and traditional foodways firsthand. I would love the opportunity to travel to Eritrea to study East African cuisine, spices, and ancestral cooking traditions directly from the source. This journey will directly inform my future culinary work and upcoming cookbook volumes as I continue my mission to preserve and celebrate global cultures through plant-based food.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple philosophy. I cook to nourish the body, honor culture, and create connection through food.
