Michaela Vais

Queen of vegan cooking, food blogger and recipe writer Michaela Vais – also known as Ela – is the creator of ElaVegan.com. With over 1.2 million Instagram followers, her healthy recipes have helped many people around the globe transition to veganism, something which is close to her heart. Famous for creating innovative gluten-free and vegan dishes that are also aesthetically pleasing, she launched her ElaVegan blog in 2016 which has become even more successful than she could have imagined. Her work has been featured on popular websites including Shape, Cosmopolitan, Dr. Axe, Buzzfeed and many more. In 2019 she was nominated as an influencer in the food category for the Influencer Awards of Monaco.

Vais loves spending time in nature, on the beach and has a huge love for animals. She stopped eating meat when she was 6 years old and became a vegan in 2011 – which became the best decision of her life. Not only did Vais feel inner peace from her healthy new lifestyle, she also felt much more energized eating plant-based food, lost weight and cured her cystic acne.

In 2020 Vais began to receive more and more messages, emails and comments from her huge Instagram community asking her to turn her tasty recipes into a cookbook. Released at the start of 2023, Simple and Delicious Vegan contains 100 of the delicious vegan and gluten-free recipes that the vegan food guru has become world famous for.
