My 9 Cooking Motto

  1. Veg-focused, but not labelling as vegetarian or vegan
  2. Colourful diet for diversified nutrients and microbiomes
  3. Actively incorporate more vegetables in every dish
  4. It’s fine to eat meat, while it plays a minor part of our diets
  5. Not worrying about eating meats or dairy
  6. Whole-food first
  7. Sauce compliment a dish, not to be eaten as a main
  8. Cook at home whenever possible
  9. Listen to the body
