Green Week, Seafood Weekend.
I follow a non-processed, relaxed, natural food style. No, no’s, no dogmas, but awareness of what I love to eat and my body feels drawn to eating too. My food routines are inspired by some Ayurveda basics, and include a mix of Asian, and Mediterranean cuisine. I mostly eat vegetarian during the week, fish and seafood during the weekend. Sometimes, I have some veal or Swiss dried meat, and a weekly dose of home made Hong Kong style XO sauce by my husband.
Pimped with my daily Swiss chocolate dose, without which I can’t function. I kick start every day with Swiss chocolate. I don’t get candy, but I can’t live a single day without my chocolate.
Green only diet? I’d miss the flexibility.
To live on a completely vegetarian diet wouldn’t work for me personally, as it’s too inflexible. I love seafood and sometimes want to get some meat too, even if I mostly do eat green only. I think it’s important to remain open to different types of food and not exclude any. Be curious to try new things, even if it initially may feel scary. Something, I’ve encountered several times in Asia, not knowing the food being served, but always positively surprised by the amazing flavors. Growing up with grandparents who loved to cook and bake, grandma who’s grown up in Malaysia cooked Asian style, grandpa with a French mother cooked haute cuisine for us, and my other grandma’s been an amazing baker. This has been passed on to my parents and us siblings. Like in my husband’s Asian family, food alway played a central role in our family.
At home, what’s on the dinner table all depends on my husband’s cooking. He’s responsible for all of the food related part in our life. It’s
