Food is so much more than just food in our family. Food is a time where we sit each evening and say grace, spend quality time and converse about our day. Food is nostalgia: holidays, celebrations and events - they all revolve around food.

Why I became a vegetarian
So this is my answer. There are plenty of reasons why someone is a vegetarian or vegan. For some, it's the brutality of the meat industry and the cruel treatment of animals. Others might be raised in a culture in which the consumption of meat is against their beliefs. And some are simply curious about it.

pasta,veg and sauce
I have been cooking both at home and for work for nearly 40 years, I only follow exact recipes when I want something like a sauce or a certain pastry.it tends to be look what I have, look at the time I have and go from there. At work I care for adults with additional needs and often need to cook for 15 people or more. We grow our own vegetables and buy in other ingredients, this means most meals start from the ground up.

Some surprising vegetarian delights of Russia
Before moving to Russia, my expectations of their vegetarian dishes were low. I boarded the plane fully prepared to eat nothing but potatoes and black bread for four months. But I’ve been surprised, and met many unexpected approaches to vegetarianism. All of them had dill on top of them.

Why I Became a Vegetarian
It all started thanks to Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar speech, you know, the one about cows milk. Not that I hadn’t heard these ideas from other sources. But it was his passion and conviction that made me realize something: I didn’t want to eat animals anymore. My decision didn’t officially come about until I had a flashback to when I was a kid, and I connected with an elephant at the zoo. I made eye contact with her, and she started swinging her trunk around. I could’ve sworn she smiled at me that day. I recalled that warm fuzzy memory when I asked myself the inevitable question: Why am I eating creatures that I can connect with on such deep levels? I would never eat my family dog or fry up the goldfish for dinner. So why is it okay to eat a cow or a chicken? In about 10 seconds, I answered this question by deciding to try out vegetarianism. The best way for me to live out this newfound logic was to stop eating any animals at all.

Top Misconceptions About Plant-Based Diets
Vegan diets lack protein I personally love this one, because according to many studies, plant-based diets tend to contain more protein on average than that of an omnivore. (1) Plants contain all essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) to help you reach the required protein levels for an adult, however, the most protein dense plants tend to be nuts and legumes.

Vegetarian Pad Thai
I will admit, that the first time I had authentic Pad Thai, I didn’t like it. I was in Bangkok; it was my first trip to Asia and perhaps I wasn’t prepared for the intensity of the locally prepared dish? Or perhaps as I wasn’t feeling 100%, I’d have been inclined to reject any food offered to me? Perhaps I didn’t like that they had left the tails on the prawns? (Yes, you’re reading a vegetarian recipe, I however am not vegetarian). Whatever it was, despite originally finding it distasteful, authentic Pad Thai has become one of my regular meals. I now find that anything on offer in my home country to be disappointing. For the occasions that I can’t afford a plane ticket, I have developed some recipes for my (now) favourite dishes so that I can enjoy authentic flavour at home.
