Today was a good day âș
I hosted a Build Your Bowl session with a group of women curious about cooking vegan proteins. We got in the kitchen (virtually), covered some nutrition basics, and made my Crispy Tofu with Sweet Potato Purée and Bok Choy.
For most of them, it was their first time working with tofu, and they nailed it. I love watching people step outside their comfort zones and actually enjoy the process. By the end, they werenât just eating it, they were excited to make it again.
Thatâs what knowledge, practice and a little encouragement can do âš
While I eat an all-inclusive diet, I genuinely enjoy protein in many forms. Tofu isnât just for vegans. Itâs a complete protein, itâs versatile and when itâs cooked right, it checks every box: flavor, texture and nutrition.
Every time I lead these sessions, Iâm reminded that real confidence in the kitchen comes from doing. When you understand how to cook something, and why it matters, you start making better choices. No extremes required.
So tell me: Whenâs the last time you tried cooking something totally new đ
