For the past few years, I’ve been using social media to post pictures of the food I was making, and my friends, excited about my creations, have been bugging me to get a blog going. So here it is, finally!

The Poke Bowl craze has been elevated with the most fascinating way of using watermelon as a replacement to fish! You won’t believe how succulent and mind-blowing this bowl is until you try it for yourself! This Watermelon Poke Bowl we’ve created for you is so good, you won’t be able to get enough of it!

Enjoy and happy cooking!

Whenever I catch sight of a new plant-based cafe or restaurant around town, I make an immediate beeline for it. Not because I’m necessarily hungry, but because I have a genuine concern about how long it will survive in the, for lack of a better […]
For the past three years, I have been hearing stories from my husband about the mystical land of Koh Phangan. He has been making numerous visits to this small Thai island for the sole purpose of attending silent retreats, but he has also been telling […]
