One of my go-to plant-based protein source is quinoa. One cup of cooked quinoa contains 9 grams of protein, which contains even more protein than tofu, oatmeal or spinach. This make it a favourite plant-based protein among vegans and vegetarians alike. I like to add them in salads which help to add some bulk to…
I been introduced Bruschetta while dining at a hotel. Bruschetta is an Italian appetizer that consisted of toasted bread rubbed with garlic and topped with a mixture of diced tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Whenever I feel like having something more savoury or oriental, I would cook myself a bowl of miso soup…

Soups is a great comfort food when it’s chilly outside. To satisfy my soup cravings, I would usually head to The Soup Spoon to have my favourite pumpkin soup or Tomato soup. Cedele serves really tantalizing vegetarian soups as well! But on days where I have some time for myself, I like to cook and…
