‘What the world needs now is love sweet love’ This is a lovely soup comforting soup with layers of umami. It is another delicious recipe from ‘Healthy High Protein’ by Dr Rupy Aujila.

‘Be like seeds, do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow’ This is a unique recipe I found in ‘the Korean vegan’ cookbook. It is a recipe she found on her favourite Korean sitcom, which reminded her how much she liked sprouts. I love the way Korean cuisine

‘Your plate is where tradition meets innovation’ I was given some beautiful Sumac from the Rye Library Spice Club, sourced from Serafina.
