ABOUT US

Hello vegan-friendly or vegan-curious (or somewhere in between) friends! Blayre and Maggie here. Thanks for looking behind the curtain of Plant-Based Philly Taste.

We started PBPT to share vegan dishes with you that are fun, easy, and approachable to make… because it should be easy to make a positive difference in the world, your body, and your mind!

PHILLY

As you can tell from our name, Philadelphia is our heart. With a combined 10+ years living in the most cultured city in the world, we aim to showcase all the amazing eats the city has to offer. Unsurprisingly, there are a plethora of vegan options!

Maggie's "Why"

Maggie began her plant-based journey in 2011, when she went vegetarian cold turkey (pun very much intended) after taking an environmental ethics class in college. In 2018, she made the switch to fully vegan and has never looked back. She went vegan for the animals, but the positive effects eating plant-based has had on her body and mind have been magical!

Blayre's "Why"

Blayre wandered into the plant-based world when he met Maggie in 2020. He has always had a passion for health and fitness, and often chose vegetarian and vegan meals, but hadn’t made the jump to fully plant-based until then. Blayre is primarily vegetarian for his vitality and the environment, and constantly in awe by how creative, flavorful, and sustainable eating plant-based is!
