For a long time, Maya thought the same. Until she became interested in animal welfare, climate change and nutrition – and decided that she wanted to make a difference! So she made the switch to a vegan diet and found it not only easier but also tastier than she had expected.

In this book, Maya Leinenbach, known worldwide on social media as “fitgreenmind”, presents her take on vegan cuisine. Her cooking goes far beyond classic vegan dishes. She’s especially fond of veganizing non-vegan meals and has quite a few surprises up her sleeve. A vegan gyros? A Caesar salad? Even a cheesecake? No problem! Maya has already convinced a number of die-hard sceptics.
But Maya isn’t on a crusade. What she wants is to bring people together through food. If people make vegan cooking a part of their everyday lives and do something positive for themselves, the animal world and the planet – all the better. But it should always be easy, healthy, and of course tasty. And to be honest: It does make her happy when non-vegans ask her in amazement, “Ooh, that’s vegan?”
