Been vegan for 8 years. Still not dead. Actually, I’ve never eaten better.

I’m Joris de Kock, recipe developer, plant-pusher and creator of Le Cocque, where 129,000+ people follow along for food that just makes sense (and actually tastes good).

Why I Started Le Cocque

When I first went vegan, I was excited but also very lost. Most recipes I found were either bland, required ingredients I couldn’t pronounce, or looked nothing like the photos. I knew there had to be a better way.

So I started creating my own recipes. Simple, flavour-forward meals that I actually wanted to eat again and again. Sharing them online snowballed into this community, and now here we are.

Who This Is For

This site is for anyone who’s ever
• Cooked a vegan recipe that turned into 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 Find Here

• Flavour-packed vegan recipes that turn into actual repeat meals
• Tips that make plant-based cooking quicker and less stressful
• Real-life food, no food-shaming, no weird rules

Because eating more plants shouldn’t feel like homework. It should feel good, taste good, and actually fit into your life.

A Little More About Me

Beyond the kitchen, I’m a fitness enthusiast and someone who believes plants make life better in every way. My work has been featured by tons of brands. When I’m not cooking or shooting recipes, you’ll probably find me at the gym or drinking way too much coffee.
