About me: I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, which means I don't eat meat nor fish, but I do use dairy and eggs (although I'd like to cut down on those). I also try to live sustainable: buying organic and local when possible, not wasting too much food. This may sound pretty idealistic but I'm really just a common person trying to make do :) I love great tasting food and really like to cook & bake. Having dinner with friends & family is one of my favourite ways to spend my time. Favourite food style: Indonesian.

Favorite recipe: Frijoles (Mexican Bean Dish)

Vegetable Dashi

Have used this recipe to make a sugar-free vegan dashi broth. Tastes good.

Surprisingly good side dish that is very easy to make.

Prepare the lemon wheels in advance! Because they'll be eaten as a whole it is advised to use organic lemons.

Absolutely delicious, easy to make. Of course you'll need to use fresh beans. The dressing is awesome and can be used on other veggies as well.

Sesame Dressing

Excellent dressing that can be used on green beans, spinach and other vegetables. You do not need to make your own vegetable dashi; use store-bought instead but make sure it's vegetarian (no bonito among ingredients).

Thai Green Curry

This recipe instantly became an all-time favourite. Like other recipes in this book you need quite a few ingredients, but it's worth it!

Although you could use store-bought green curry paste I recommend making it fresh according to the recipe (it's not really that much work); make a bigger batch and put it in your freezer!

I'm quite strict about the spices & herbs but substitute vegetables to taste. Always using eggplant though. Adding cashews is great too.

I was a bit apprehensive when I started making this salad but it is great! Have made it several times since.

I use ordinary fried tofu (cooled down). Be sure to have fresh bean sprouts (of course home grown is best :).
