How to create plant based food in day-to-day life.

Do you need to be a chef to create plant based meals? My answer is no! In my and my husband's former relationships we were both blessed with partners who loved cooking and made delisious food. Not plant based though but non of us ate plantbased at that time. I had no interest in cooking at all but since it wasn't Mattias greatest joy either both of us had to learn. Quite early though in our relationship both of us started eating plants. We had to learn something new together. When we first decided to only eat vegan food we had no idea where to start. We bought a couple of cookbooks. Though there weren't many around at that time. Vegeterian ones, yes, but not vegan ones. Vegeterian recipes are quite easy to change to vegan ones. Nowadays, thankfully, there are a lot of great vegan cookbooks around!

When I have set my mind on something I do it to 100%. But I realize that most people aren't like that. My sister-in-law came up with the brilliant idea to cook one new vegan recipe a week. That's a really good idea!  But don't go for the fancy ones, go for the ones that are easy to prepare.

Beacause to be honest, most of us don't have eons of time to prepare a fancy dish, make it look perfect, fix the best light and make a gorgeous photo on Instagram. So stop comparing your meals with those photos and stop believing that cooking plant-based is difficult. It is actually super simple. It's just that you haven't trained that muscle yet. It's like when you learned to walk. You failed and you falled all the time but you didn't give up and suddenly cooking plant based will be as natural as your old meals loaded with animals products once were.
