Something special has been simmering, and it’s finally ready to be shared.
The Youth Board Cookbook, created by ProVeg’s global Youth Board, is officially available for everyone. This collection of recipes is a celebration of culture, creativity and the power of young voices coming together from across the world to shape a more sustainable food future.
Inside, you’ll find a vibrant mix of plant-based recipes inspired by traditional cuisines from Latin America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. From quick, everyday meals to dishes worth slowing down for, there is something for everyone.
With sections dedicated to tofu, pulses, vegetables, and sweets, every recipe carries a personal story: memories of home, cultural traditions, or moments that connect food with identity.
What makes this cookbook truly special is the voices behind it
The ProVeg Youth Board brings together passionate young changemakers from diverse regions, all working toward a common goal: transforming the global food system and making plant-rich diets more accessible. From advocacy and policy to storytelling and conservation, these young leaders are helping reimagine what and how we eat. This cookbook is a reflection of that energy, bringing their global perspectives directly into your kitchen.
Alongside the recipes, you can also find interviews with our youth leaders, where they share their experiences, motivations for embracing plant-rich diets, and even their kitchen ‘oops’ moments, like when Cogie’s experiment to create soy yogurt from coconut kefir resulted in just more kefir. These stories remind us that cooking is about community, connection, and the world we want to build together.
The big picture
At a time when our food system is more important than ever, hearing directly from young people across the globe brings a necessary sense of hope and urgency. Their ideas are bold, their creativity is inspiring, and their message is clear: change can start on our plates.
Whether you’re looking for new recipes, curious about global food cultures, or are simply in need of a little inspiration, this cookbook invites you to explore, experiment, and share.
