I believe that there’s no one diet that fits all. In the same way, each individual has a unique set of fingerprints, a singular DNA structure, different blood type, a unique digestive system, unique food sensitivities, etc. I believe it is the responsibility of each one of us to get to know what our body needs and wants, to learn what makes us gain or lose weight, to discover what food makes us happy, heavy, fulfilled, or bloated, and to know to differentiate healthy eating versus emotional eating. Knowing the specific needs of our own body is the key to finding the ultimate diet, reaching the perfect weight, perfect for the individual that is.
The kitchen is the place where I can express my creativity as well as benefit from fresh healthy food and feed my loved ones. In this blog, I offer easy-to-follow recipes for anyone and everyone to enjoy. It is a way for me to share a taste (no pun intended!) of my cuisine.
What is the one ingredient that will make a dish a superfood and exceptionally tasty? LOVE, simply. This is CONSCIOUS COOKING.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT – Indeed, it is the consciousness and energy injected into the food and preparation that will create the difference and will affect those who are eating your food. This is what is felt when eating a dish, subconsciously or consciously. The state of mind and intention you will generate while cooking will come out in the taste.
Overall, a great recipe is the combination of fresh ingredients, organic produce and the love you will inject into your cooking. This will create the perfect dish.
