How Excited I Was to Be on National Radio BBC 2 to Talk About My Passion: Easy-to-Make Yummy Vegan Desserts
When I received the email invitation to appear on BBC Radio 2. The idea of talking about something so close to my heart—my lifetime passion for creating easy-to-make, stunning vegan desserts—filled me with a mix of excitement and nervous energy. It was a dream come true to share my journey and creations with such a wide audience.
The Joy of Vegan Desserts: Where It All Began
For as long as I can remember, desserts have been my happy place. But when I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle, I realized the dessert world was largely untapped for plant-based enthusiasts. My mission became clear: to show that vegan desserts can be as beautiful, indulgent, and easy to make as their non-vegan counterparts.
The Call That Changed Everything
When the BBC Radio 2 producer contacted me, I couldn’t believe it. I was about to discuss my passion with thousands of listeners! My mind raced with ideas about which desserts to highlight and how to convey just how simple and rewarding vegan baking can be.
A Dream Fulfilled
Being on BBC Radio 2 wasn’t just about promoting vegan desserts; it was a milestone in my journey of spreading awareness about how delicious and inclusive vegan food can be. It reminded me of why I started this journey—to inspire others and make plant-based living both approachable and joyful.

I had a BLAST with Jim on The Bloody Vegans Podcast!
Jim from The Bloody Vegan says: Danielle Maupertuis, is a Belgian Vegan Pastry Chef with a deep connection to chocolate.
Danielle has had an impressive career as an Executive Pastry Chef, having worked in renowned 5-star hotels both in the UK, such as Marriott and Red Carnation Luxury Hotels, and internationally in places like Greece and Lebanon. Notably, she was part of the team at the Beirut Marriott Hotel, which marked the first international 5-star hotel opening after the Lebanese civil war.
In the face of daily power cuts, she and her team even managed to prepare a wedding banquet illuminated solely by candlelight. Danielle’s culinary talent has been recognized on the international stage, as she has earned numerous gold and silver medals in various competitions.
One of her notable achievements includes winning accolades at the “Salon Culinaire de la Gastronomie au Liban,”. View the podcast here
