Carleigh Bodrug is a Canadian vegan/plant-based author, known for her PlantYou cookbooks and advocacy of waste minimisation.
Bodrug grew up on a farm in Ontario, Canada.[1] She was a journalism major at University of Western Ontario,[2] where she also served as a student health reporter for the campus news channel.[3] Bodrug started her PlantYou food blog after her father was diagnosed with colon cancer.[4][2]
Bodrug's first job was at a radio station.[2] She also created her PlantYou Instagram account in 2016 to document plant-based cooking, eventually becoming a full-time food blogger.[2] She published her first cookbook in 2022,[2] and a follow-up cookbook in 2024.[5] This second cookbook, PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking focuses on plant-based low-waste recipes, and includes a lemon peel pasta recipe. Bodrug has stated that one of the largest reasons she went plant-based is because of the environmental implications of animal agriculture.[6]
Bodrug's Instagram video of her turning discarded orange peels into candy obtained 1 million views.[7]
