A vegetarian for 20 years now, I am often pitied. Most people are under the impression that vegetarians don’t get good food. No meat = no food. To be brutally honest, when I was a meat eater I too could not imagine anything worse than being a vegetarian.
But, some things are beyond our control and at age 17, I developed an aversion to eating meat. Was it fate? Or was it just that I’d OD-ed on meat. Whatever the reason, I am now a happy vegetarian out to prove that vegetarians aren’t an unfortunate lot and that a head of cabbage can be as tasty as a slab of beef. Really.
By the way, with two friends (Marty Thyme and Blessed Glutz) I write a monthly food column for The Star, an English daily in Malaysia called Don’t Call Me Chef — you can find the links on my page.
Cheers and remember, don’t diss them veggies.
Hi,
Just wanted to say that you’ve got a really cool blog with lots of interesting recipes. I’m a vegetarian myself but never quite realized how colourful and fun cooking veggies can be. You make me want to try everything out!
Hey thanks Jessie. Glad you find the blog useful and worthwhile. Let me know if you ever try anything and would appreciate your comments/suggestions/feedback. Cook on!
Hey there, great blog and it actually reminds me of Julie’s blog, you know, Julie and Julia. Keep up the good work and you are invited to take a look at mine too! Thanks for supporting yeah!
I just read your article on the star. i wonder if you’re an ex-assuntarian since u mention a mrs. loke as your DS teacher. I had a mrs loke too, very fierce.
Yes, you’re right. The one and only 🙂
Wow, glad I stumbled upon this place. I’ve recently (like, a week) been thinking about cutting off meat to be more sustainable with my lifestyle. But I can’t bear to think of how I’m about to miss my bak kut teh! It’s been so far so good though. Looking forward to getting great ideas from this space!
Thank you for your comment. Glad you find this space interesting. There are loads of wonderful vegetarian recipes online, many of which I have fallen in love with. You will find some interesting veg blogs on my blogroll which i am sure you will enjoy!

Thanks Supriya. Am inspired to try your roasted garlic and onion soup 😉
And I am definitely trying out the beetroot hummus! I love beets and love hummus, what could possibly go wrong 🙂
nothing! its a really nice twist to the regular hummus and I am sure you’d like it. The colour alone won me over 🙂
I just realized you have a blog! Nice to know that. Enjoy the column in the paper. Since I’m an occasional vegan, I’m sure this time won’t be my last stopping by at your site. Keep it up!
