About Veganise.it

Who is behind this?

Veganise.it is built by Damian Leibundgut, a developer based in Switzerland. It started as a personal tool — a way to convert favourite family recipes to plant-based versions without losing what made them special — and grew into something worth sharing.

This is a solo, unfunded project. No venture capital, no advertising, no sponsored content. Revenue comes entirely from optional Pro subscriptions at €2.99/month.

Our mission

Make it effortless for anyone to cook plant-based. Not through guilt or pressure, but through genuinely useful tools: an AI recipe converter that explains every swap, a wiki that answers real questions with real evidence, and kitchen tools designed for how people actually cook.

Editorial standards

Every article in the Vegan Wiki follows these principles:

• Evidence first. Claims about nutrition, health, and environmental impact cite peer-reviewed research, public health bodies (WHO, NHS, ADA), or authoritative datasets (FAO, Poore & Nemecek 2018). We name sources inline so you can verify them.
• Honest about trade-offs. We don't pretend veganism has zero challenges. When a nutrient requires supplementation (B12, potentially D3 and DHA), we say so clearly and explain the options.
• No medical advice. Our wiki content is educational, not prescriptive. We always recommend consulting a qualified healthcare professional before making significant dietary changes — and every article carries a disclaimer to that effect.
• Balanced tone. We present facts and let readers draw their own conclusions. No shaming, no guilt-tripping, no moral superiority. The goal is to inform, not to convert.
• Regular review. Nutrition science evolves. We review articles periodically and update them when new evidence warrants a change. Article dates reflect when the content was last verified.

The AI recipe converter

The converter uses a purpose-tuned AI model to analyse recipes and suggest plant-based substitutions. It explains the reasoning behind every swap — why cashew cream works for this sauce, why aquafaba replaces egg whites in that meringue — so you learn as you cook.

Every converted recipe receives a Veganisability Score (1–10) that honestly reflects how close the vegan version comes to the original. We don't pretend a 6/10 conversion is perfect.
