Mini bio
How it started.
Nora went vegan in 2010 and discovered a love of cooking she had not expected. After years of experimenting, she started Nora Cooks in 2017. She chose a camera bought on Craigslist and a food blog over returning to nursing, hoping to stay home with her youngest son.
The cake that traveled.
Her vegan chocolate cake went viral in 2018. In 2025, The New York Times featured Nora and the cake in a story about vegan food around Portland.
From the kitchen to the bookshelf.
Nora still develops and photographs recipes in her home kitchen. Her self-published cookbook, Everyday Vegan Comfort, gathers more than 100 recipes, including reader favorites and a handful of new dishes.
