Vegan & Vegetarian Catering

MEET THE CHEF Vittle Vibes is a vegetarian and vegan inspired food truck with an Indian fusion menu run by Chef Poornima Omkant. Growing up in the Southern part of India, Poornima loves cooking vegetarian and vegan delights for her family and friends. Her family has always encouraged and appreciated her various vegetarian continental dishes. In fact, her favorite part about cooking is seeing the smiles on her family's and friends' faces when they take a bite of her masterpiece. Her passion for cooking began in her early childhood watching her mom cook for a big family! Testing her creative mind, she became fascinated with the new inventions and art she could create by using striking ingredients and fashioning captivating recipes. From there, she began to research, learn, and experiment with a variety of ingredients, whether it was mixing two types of cuisines or making a completely new dish. As time went by, she improved greatly in cooking and began developing her own special recipes that she can teach both of her lovely daughters. In 2013, she started a blog and Facebook page, Poornima’s Cuisine, a place for food enthusiasts to discover and learn how to make vegetarian and vegan dishes. She held many cooking/baking summer camps for kids and appeared as a speaker and demonstrator at the Texas VegFest’s Youth Cooking Demo for several years. Poornima has also garnered recognition with her numerous award-winning recipes from multiple online contests. Within the past two years, she also held Indian cooking demos at St. Edward’s University for their international cultures class and was a part-time professional chef instructor in after-school enrichment classes for kids. She enjoys the satisfactory feeling of the overall taste and appearance of her food art and is always on a hunt for exotic tastes to enhance her culinary art. Crafting food is a type of art that has always interested her. There’s no limit to formulating new cookeries! With that in mind, after resigning from her IRS job late 2019, she was finally able to work on opening her dream food truck and making something of her own, yet again testing her creative mind. She believes you have to be passionate, loving and serving-minded to choose this type of work. Nothing is permanent so being happy is her key of motivation through cooking, feeding everyone with love. Today, Chef Poornima uses her love for cooking and style of combining recipes from around the world as an inspiration for her delicious Indian fusion menu for her newly opened Vittle Vibes food truck!   Find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! @vittlevibes #vittlevibes#veganaustin#vegetarianveganmeals
