World Vegan Day: 8 Maltese Chefs Cooking Amazing Veganised Food On Instagram
Today is officially World Vegan Day!
People from all over the globe have the opportunity to celebrate the many benefits that veganism brings, both in terms of health and also for the environment.
Up until a few years ago, finding vegan food in Malta was quite a challenge, especially for specific events or dessert items.
Now, it’s becoming increasingly more common for people to adopt a meat-free diet, with more vegan chefs popping up and veganising recipes across all of Malta!
In celebration of the day, Lovin Malta has prepared a list of some of Malta’s best chefs specialising in vegan food (in no particular order) to give them the recognition that they deserve!
1. Yakof Debono – @yakofdebono
Started out as a home cook with a passion for food, cooking, and eating, Yakof’s mission when it comes to food is incorporating familiar ingredients close to home with more modern ones.
His website is full of original recipes and he’s got quite a selection for vegan food, such as his red cabbage, walnut, and apple soup!
2. Grateful Vegan Guy – @gratefulveganguy
Jurgen, the man behind @gratefulveganguy, has been a vegan for over three years and counting!
