Vegan Bear Chef

Vegan Bear Chef, founded by Gabriele, offers culinary workshops in Amsterdam that integrate art, music, and sustainability while showcasing plant-based food as easy, healthy, and delicious. Gabriele's journey began in a small Italian town, where early experiences with his grandmother on their family farm nurtured his connection to nature and ignited his passion for veganism. After transitioning from an accountant to opening Anubi Caffe in 2012, he ventured into the vibrant Copenhagen street food scene, enhancing his skills in vegan cuisine. In Amsterdam since 2018, Gabriele has focused on developing innovative vegan dishes and has worked with large tech companies to incorporate these options into their menus. His pioneering spirit led him to create vegan cheese prototypes through the Kitchen Republic’s Academy and engage with food communities and initiatives that bolster his entrepreneurial growth. Since October 2022, he has been part of the TreehouseNDSM collective, providing fresh, sustainable lunch options while collaborating with artists for events, blending culinary experiences with art. Vegan Bear Chef emphasizes flavor, creativity, and sustainability, creating unique, multi-sensory culinary experiences.
