Welcome to Table Matters, where delicious vegetarian cooking meets purposeful living. We believe you can eat healthfully and happily, without compromise.
Founded by chef-writer Jared Kent, Table Matters has grown into a vibrant online hub offering not only vegetarian recipes, but also cooking tips, gastronomic insight, reviews, and a full cooking fundamentals course.

We believe that good cooking is accessible to everyone - that healthy eating should be joyful, not restrictive. We honour ingredients, celebrate the act of gathering and sharing food, and aim to equip you with the skills and confidence to cook with ease. At the same time, we celebrate vegetarian cuisine not as a limitation, but as a creative invitation.
We also believe in transparency: from why we choose certain ingredients, to how we review products in our guides.
At TableMatters.com, our editorial team brings decades of combined culinary and kitchen expertise to every recipe, guide and product review we publish. Each team member is committed to researching, testing and crafting high-quality, trustworthy content. With specialists across cooking, ingredients, equipment and vegetarian living.
