About us

Snapshots from our previous events
Welcome to our Plant-Based/Vegan Cooking Group! We’re all about helping everyone add more plants to their meals. You don’t have to be vegan to join — but we’d love for you to be open-minded and curious about the art of vegan cooking!

🍽️ About our cooking event style
Our gatherings are small, in-person experiences where we cook, eat, and connect in a relaxed, introvert-friendly atmosphere.
Each meetup revolves around a creative theme — no strict recipes.
We explore ingredients, improvise together, and discover new flavors through spontaneous, hands-on cooking that’s fun, easy, and accessible for everyone.

👛 Why does it cost money to join cooking events?
While plant-based ingredients are affordable, they aren’t free. About $50/month goes toward running this Meetup (Pro) group, with the rest covering ingredients. Event costs vary but are usually €10 or less per person. Please bring cash to keep these gatherings safe and accessible—online payments are discouraged due to scam risks (see below⚠️)and the extra Meetup.com service fees.

Q: What’s the motivation behind this vegan cooking meetup?
A: This meetup isn’t about selling anything .
Bringing people together with plant-based food, cooking, and sharing a meal is the ultimate act of love and peace. It needs no motivation—there’s simply no reason not to do it.

🙏NO-SHOW POLICY 🙏
No-show is very costly for me and make planning more difficult for the group. To keep things fair and sustainable, we can’t keep members who has a no-show flag. Thank you for your understanding.

⚠️ Scam Warning Please note: I do not ask members to pay online or send money privately. Any message requesting online payment and claiming to be from me is not legitimate. Official event payments, if any, are handled only through the Meetup platform or explained clearly in the event description.
