I love being creative in the kitchen and trying out new things

“I love being creative in the kitchen and trying out new things.” — Vegan food blogger Maya Leinenbach. Maya posts a new, original, vegan recipe every single day — from tofu gnocchi to Korean-inspired smash tacos. “For me personally, there’s not one single source of inspiration — inspiration comes from many things.” Why vegan? “Nowadays we have access to a huge variety of different products that don’t use animal products, so they’re becoming increasingly unnecessary,” says Maya. Maya is using her platform to drive change one tasty recipe at a time. “I think it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to go vegan,” she says, “but I do hope that people gain more awareness about the food they consume and its effects on our planet.”
