Better than Beef
With humor and curiosity, Maya Leinenbach reinterprets iconic tapas such as albondigas, calamares, and tortilla—naturally vegan and completely free of animal products. The documentary accompanies the creative process as well as the personal encounters and culinary experiments. The central question always hangs over the table: Does it really taste "better than beef"?
