This Is Us
Sascha and I (Bianca) are two foodies who went vegan and fell in love with food all over again. After learning about the impact of animal agriculture on the planet, the wrenchingly cruel practices in slaughterhouses, and the positive health effects a plant-based diet can have on the body, we began a vegan way of life in 2012. The Beginner's Guide to Everyday Vegan Cooking is our way of helping other vegan beginners adjust to their new lifestyle.
Born and raised in Austria, a meat-focused country like so many, I want to prove that a vegan diet is not only possible, but also delicious, for everyone. After following a vegan lifestyle for two years, I started the blog Elephantastic Vegan to share my favorite plant-based recipes. Over the last two years of food blogging, I’ve shared over 300 plant-based recipes, a handful of vegan travel reports, kitchen hacks, product reviews, and guides for vegans, the latter being published in a blog section dedicated for new vegans. Thus, the inspiration for The Beginner's Guide to Everyday Vegan Cooking was born.
Sascha is a lover of food that cooks itself, so all kinds of soups, stews, goulashes, and curries are usually his area of expertise. While he does not enjoy baking, he certainly loves eating all kinds of baked goods, especially anything bread-related. While I’m in the kitchen whipping up snacks, he prepares the drinks to make sure no one is thirsty. Showing people how delicious plant-based food can be is our favorite way of sparking people’s interest in a vegan lifestyle.
