About

Thanks for stopping by my virtual kitchen, where I share humorous food adventures, articles on health & wellness, while kitchen-testing recipes I have compiled along the way.

For the record, I'm not a vegetarian or vegan; I'm a Flexitarian omnivore. But I'm fascinated with the healing power of food and humbled by the impact the Vegan community has had on social consciousness in general, and the culinary world in particular, which has inspired me to explore an alternative approach to cooking, eating, living.

For a summary of my wellness journey, pull up a chair and set a spell click.

Cheers to your health and wellness!
