Hmmm… Sea vegetables, aka seaweed… Does it tickle your fancy? Perhaps not ~ especially if it conjures up an image of pongy sliminess! But that’s not the seaweed I’m suggesting you eat ~ well, not straight out of the ocean and right into your mouth (ew!). There are some clever ways you can include sea…
Do you love your body ~ from the bottom of your heart, just the way she is? For many of use looking at ourselves naked in the mirror is confronting ~ we may feel shame, disappointment or sadness. We may not even smile at ourselves ~ because we’re busy critiquing our different parts, relentlessly. {Don’t feel…
Besides being super delicious, I wanted to talk about practical element of having homemade condiments in the fridge. Many condiments are easy to make ~ but out of habit and reliance on store-bought ones, we have forgotten that we can make our own in a few minutes with wholesome, delicious ingredients.

I wanted to talk about something dear to my heart — and mind. It’s mindfulness. While part of my work as a holistic food coach is to help people make healthier food choices that suit their lifestyle and dietary needs, a BIG part of my work is also about self-awareness, and tuning to understand how you…
I love my mum’s besan laddoos. I don’t know how to make them, though. They’re quite labour intensive — and rich. Something you make for a very special occasion. Which in my culture means when you’re celebrating life’s joyous moments — weddings, pregnancies, university graduations etc — and religious occasions like Diwali. So you can…
