Essentials

Been vegan for 8 years. Still not dead. In fact, I’ve never eaten better.
I’m Joris de Kock, recipe developer, plant-pusher and creator of Le Cocque, where 80,000+ people follow along for food that just makes sense (and actually tastes good).

This site is for anyone who's ever:
• Tried a vegan recipe and ended up with beige sadness on a plate
• Wondered how tofu works (or why it once tasted like a wet sponge)
• Wanted to eat more plants without giving up flavour, joy, or decent snacks

What you'll get here:
• Easy, flavour-packed vegan recipes that you’ll actually want to make again
• Tips for making plant-based cooking less of a chore
• No food-shaming, no rules, just real-life meals for real-life people

If you're plant-curious, plant-committed, or just tired of recipes that require 47 ingredients and a Himalayan salt lamp, welcome.

Let’s eat well, feel good, and enjoy the ride. All powered by plants.
