I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m grateful to live in a city that is bursting with an abundance of plant-based restaurants (click to see my favourite vegan dishes in the city). Not just restaurants in a traditional vegan way. Don’t get Read more

Well, I don’t know how brave you guys have been, but I haven’t been doing a lot of eating out lately. Yeah, I logged some hours on some patios this summer, but for the most part, any restaurant food I’ve eaten has been mostly takeout. Read more

For a Christmas gift this year, I got Samin Nosrat’s Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat cookbook. I have been in love with Nosrat since I discovered her on a cooking show a while back, and was tickled pink when she released the Netflix documentary based on Read more
