About
Delectable Planet is a platform where you can find delicious vegan recipes that not only taste good but are also beneficial for everyone. Why? Because we believe that by eating more plant-based foods, we use fewer resources, lower our carbon footprint, and support more people with food.
Delectable Planet has been designed to provide you with a simple approach to making your own meals that consist of all plant-based ingredients. Whether you want to do your part to help the planet, make a lifestyle change, or simply learn more about animal-free food options, we hope you find our recipes and “how-to” instructions helpful. Using a short instructional video with every recipe makes learning how to cook a plant-based diet easy and entertaining. Additionally, the nutritional information provided with many videos will help you learn more about achieving your healthy lifestyle goals.
Enjoy and please provide feedback so we know how to improve the Delectable Planet site experience!
The Delectable Planet Mission
Our mission is to encourage people to eat lower on the food chain to support environmental sustainability, promote social justice, and maintain good health.
If you're just getting started, we suggest beginning with a few plant-based meals a week. Then add more as you feel comfortable. You will feel better, and it won't be long until the whole world breathes easier.
We are first and foremost an educational site. We want to share everything we have learned about eating a plant-based diet with you. We have focused on video recipes accompanied by printed instructions and tips. All the recipes can be printed or emailed to friends. Additionally, we offer numerous food preparation tips and tricks. And very importantly, we are providing the resources to understand why we should eat lower on the food chain, along with important dietary information.
Secondly, we would love your participation. Please add your comments to the recipes via YouTube. If you have a great recipe idea or would like us to film you preparing it, please let us know. If you run across a great article or link, please send it to us! We will share it in our newsletter or on the site.
Do you have questions, suggestions, or ideas? Please send us an email at info@delectableplanet.com.
The Founders
Lester Karplus became a vegetarian in the '70s after realizing that the US could feed the whole world, but that food was eaten as beef. He decided that he would never eat another animal until everyone went to bed with food in their bellies. He raised his children as vegetarians, and now even his grandchildren are growing up with the same attitude. Lester has over 12 years of experience working with natural, whole, and organic foods in restaurants, manufacturing, and distribution. After learning more about the total impact of animal production on the planet and people over the past few decades, he decided it was time to take action. Hence, Delectable Planet! His diet consists entirely of whole, 100% plant-based foods.
Karna Knapp has pursued a plant-based diet for the last couple of decades. After reading more about the critical impact of animal production, she also decided to dedicate a large portion of her time to helping others adopt a plant-based diet. Karna is a modern dancer, quilter, and musician and is concerned about proper nutrition. She has put considerable effort into studying how to transition to a plant-based diet and developing recipes to make it enjoyable.
