Our Origin Story
Vitalious Food Prep emerged from a simple observation: many people want to explore plant-based cooking but struggle to find guidance that feels accessible, non-judgmental, and genuinely practical. Our founders, a group of passionate home cooks and culinary enthusiasts based in Vienna, began sharing recipes and techniques with friends and family who were curious about reducing animal products in their diets.
What started as informal kitchen conversations evolved into structured workshops, video tutorials, and a comprehensive online learning platform. We recognized that people don't need complicated jargon or restrictive rules—they need inspiration, confidence, and a community of like-minded individuals exploring the same culinary journey.
Today, Vitalious Food Prep stands as an educational resource dedicated to making plant-based cooking joyful, achievable, and delicious for everyone. Whether you're completely new to this way of eating or simply looking to expand your repertoire, our content reflects our core belief: good food, thoughtfully prepared, nourishes both body and spirit.
Our Mission

What Our Readers Say
"
I started following Vitalious Food Prep six months ago as a complete beginner with zero plant-based cooking experience. The recipes are so clear and the community feedback made me feel like I wasn't alone in my kitchen mistakes. I've gone from frozen pizza to preparing elaborate meals that my whole family enjoys together. This platform genuinely changed how I see food and cooking.

As someone who's been plant-based for years, I was looking for fresh inspiration rather than the same recipes everywhere. Vitalious Food Prep delivers exactly that—creative, authentic cooking advice grounded in real ingredients you can find at Austrian markets. The team clearly knows their craft and shares their knowledge without any judgment or preaching.

The video tutorials are incredibly well-produced and genuinely helpful. I loved learning fermentation techniques and how to build complex flavors in plant-based dishes. The articles go beyond just recipes—they explain the why behind cooking methods, which made me a much more confident home cook.
