Who said a dessert has to consist of eggs and milk? 17-years-old, Jose, would argue that you can make a mouthwatering dish that’s 100% vegan. And with more than 1.6 million (!) followers on Instagram, he’s clearly more than proven himself. Based in Lima, Peru, Jose went 100 percent vegan by the age of 14 and taught himself to cook from scratch. His Instagram page features anything from cakes to smoothies. “Life’s too short to eat boring food,” reads his bio.

Chef Loria Stern has turned into somewhat of a celebrity, thanks to her beautiful flower pressed shortbread cookies, which were featured in publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Goop. Entirely made by hand, each cookie is different, pressed with individual botanicals, using flowers and herbs seasonally available. “On a busy week, we bake over 2,000 cookies,” shared Stern with Voyage LA. “I’m most proud that I get to do what I love most for work– and that is feed people.”

Drink up! New Zealand-based food artist, Hazel Zakariya, creates remarkable smoothies that are pure delight. Treating her smoothies as a sort of canvas, her smoothie-paintings feature real or fictional characters. As a base, she uses smoothies made from cream, milk, fruits, and berries, while the paintings themselves are created using coconut cream, almond milk, spices, herbs, and vegetable powders. But would you dare destroy this tangible art piece?
