A full-time lawyer in Chicago, Joanne L. Molinaro blogs at thekoreanvegan.com and floods her Instagram with great pictures of her vegan creations, which are both Korean and Western in inclination. It’s a wonderful peek into her life as well, the history of her family and what drove her to go vegan.
