Why Meals for Life

Not another vegan cookbook.

Most vegan books give you recipes. This one gives you the science, the story, the strategy, and the recipes.

Science, not guilt

178 peer-reviewed citations. No moralizing. We show you the data: for your health, for the planet, for the animals — and let you decide.

Real family, real kids

Two daughters raised vegan from birth. Fem's baby & toddler meal plans, nutrition guides, and transition tips are drawn from lived experience, not theory.

Award-winning recipes

The actual recipes from Liefs Tulum, four-time Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice winner. Café Espuma, BLT Sourdough, Buff Burrito, Cranberry Brownies, and more.

Taste first, always

"Food needs to look good, smell good and taste good. In that order." Every recipe was tested until non-vegans asked for seconds.

A story worth reading

Houston to Tulum. Hurricane Harvey. A broken VW van. COVID six weeks after launching. This is a real story about building something from nothing.

Tulum in your kitchen

Can't make it to Tulum? This book brings Tulum to you. Insider tips, hidden gems, beach clubs, cenotes, dos & don'ts, vegan spots — plus the start-up survival tips that made Liefs a four-time award winner.

Zero-waste, zero compromise

Every recipe is built around Liefs' zero-waste philosophy. Biodegradable, compostable, planet-first. Without sacrificing flavor, texture, or the joy of eating well.

A travel guide too

Our insider Tulum tips, hidden gems, dos & don'ts, best beach clubs, cenotes, and vegan restaurants. A full 'Taste of Tulum' guide inside your cookbook.

For Parents

Three days of vegan meals for babies & toddlers.

The most common worry about raising vegan kids is nutrition. We answer it with a full, repeatable 3-day meal plan, backed by the US, UK & EU Dietetic Associations, all confirming that well-planned vegan diets are safe and healthy at every life stage, including infancy.

"Well-planned vegan diets can be nutritious, healthy and appropriate for all stages of life, including childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, pregnancy and breastfeeding."
— US, UK & EU Dietetic Associations

A Taste of What's Inside

Award-winning recipes.
Finally at home.

Every recipe was obsessively tested until non-vegans said: "I can't believe this is vegan." These three are a small taste of what's waiting inside.

Omi's Apple Pie

4th generation recipe. Fully vegan. Nobody guesses.

Legacy Recipe

Salsa Picante

Taste is king. We are in Tulum. This sauce proves it.

Tulum Classic

Crispy Coliflor Nuggets

Comfort food. No antibiotics. Just 12 minutes at 200°C.

Questions

Common questions

Is this book only for vegans?

No. It's designed to be shared with non-vegans. The science is evidence-based, the tone is never preachy, and the recipes were tested on people who eat everything. If someone in your family isn't vegan, this book is how you change that. Without an argument.

Is plant-based safe for babies and young children?

Yes. The US, UK, and EU Dietetic Associations all confirm that well-planned vegan diets are nutritious and appropriate for all life stages, including infancy. We include full meal plans, supplement guidance, and Fem's practical tips from raising two daughters from birth.

Are the recipes difficult to make?

No. We built this in Tulum with a broken VW van, power outages, and minimal kitchen equipment. No KitchenAid required. Most ingredients you already have.

What formats are available?

Hardcover, paperback (via Amazon KDP / Bol.com / IngramSpark), and ebook (instant download). Direct purchase from eatatliefs.com is preferred — it supports us directly.

What is the DeLuxe Founder's Edition?

111 hand-packed boxes, signed by Thomas & Fem in Tulum. Each includes a signed hardcover, handwritten personal note, 5 exclusive recipe cards not in the book, a private QR video message from us, linen bookmark, 10% off Rancho Verde retreat voucher, 30-Day Vegan Family Challenge PDF, sticker sheet, seed packet, and a branded kraft gift box.
