Kristóf Steiner and his team encourage us to eat more vegan food

Steiner Kristóf has influenced the acceptance of veganism in Hungary, promoting plant-based eating through his cookbooks. Over the past decade, the culinary landscape has shifted towards more vegetable-centric dishes, with many chefs focusing on plant-based ingredients without explicitly labeling their cuisine as vegan. Despite criticism regarding the substitution of traditional meat dishes with plant-based alternatives, Kristóf aims to present vegan cooking as an enjoyable lifestyle rather than a restriction. His latest book, co-authored with Nimrod Dagan, introduces a new approach to cooking that encourages readers to start with vegetables, grains, and legumes, reshaping traditional meal concepts. This shift aims to increase vegetable consumption in Hungary, where meat remains predominant in diets.
