Excited to share what’s happening in March at Little Green Kitchen 🌱😀

A lovely mix this month catering to all cooks — everyday baking, high-protein meals, comforting Indian flavours and a deep dive into plant-based cooking for helpers who cook for the family.

If you’ve been wanting to cook more plant-based food that actually works in your kitchen — this is your cue.

Small interactive sessions with plenty of hands-on cooking. Lots to taste 😋. And recipes you’ll want to make again and again.

Come on your own or bring a friend — good food always loves good company 💚

A little round-up of what I created in Feb that made me really happy 😀✨

1. Crispy sweetcorn and kale fritters with homemade Sriracha 😋
2. Spicy tofu and tempeh krapao 🌶️
3. Banh Xeo (I could literally eat this on repeat!)
4. Super moist orange, olive oil and saffron muffins 🍊
5. Caramelised Miso-glazed eggplant 🍆
6. Simple and tasty chickpea omelette with vegan pesto
7. Vegan cinnamon French toast 👌
8. Incredibly fluffy gf almond flour naan that we had with chickpea and spinach curry 🌶️
9. Kung Pao Tofu - that I hadn’t made since I lived in Beijing! 😀
10. A truly fusion dish of borlotti bean coconut curry with crispy tofu and coriander-chilli oil 😂
11. Grain free granola that I literally sprinkle on everything!

Grateful that I had time to experiment, get inspired and plan what goes into future menus. This is the part of work I truly enjoy but don’t always have time for, so Feb was really fab for that 😀

Watch this space for my new creations coming to life in my classes and hope to cook with you soon 🧑‍🍳🌱

We started the year gathered around the kitchen, cooking, chatting, and sharing good food… it was heartwarming to see so many friends and families coming together and using this time to reconnect, and gently reset as the year begins 😊

No strict resolutions or diets here. Just simple, mindful cooking, using whole foods and cooking with love! And finding our rhythm in the kitchen again ❤️

Cooking and eating well isn’t a trend—it’s a way of living that supports us every single day. And I’m so happy to be here, helping make it feel easy, joyful, and doable 🧑‍🍳

More nourishing, feel-good classes coming your way soon. Stay tuned for more good food 🌱✨

Thank you 2025 🙏
I’m grateful for the opportunities, the highs, and just as much for the lows that gave me clarity, perspective, and reminded me why I started Little Green Kitchen in the first place.
Being able to host a wellness cooking workshop at a retreat in the Philippines, collaborating on a meaningful project with the Westin Group in Vietnam, being on my first podcast, receiving Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award 2024, returning for a workshop with DAMedSuites, and launching kids’ cooking workshops — something so close to my heart. ❤️

Watching these quiet efforts come together has been incredibly fulfilling.
But what means the most will always be my students. Your messages, photos of dishes you recreate at home, the joy you feel cooking for your families and their compliments — those small notes truly make my day in more ways you can imagine 🥰

Of course, there were moments of doubt too.
Running a niche business comes with uncertainty, wearing all the hats can feel heavy, and there were times when it honestly felt like too much. But those moments pushed me to reflect — and every time, the answer was the same.
I’m here because I want to help people understand the nuance of plant-based cuisine, and to eat in a way that feels nourishing, happy and sustainable. That’s it. And that’s enough for me to keep learning, growing, and getting better at what I do. 😊

As many of you know, Nik is a huge part of my food journey. Raising him vegetarian has pushed me to understand plant-based food on a much deeper level — making sure every meal at home is both nutritious and delicious (especially for a little foodie like him!). Watching his love for food and sustainability grow reminds me that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

Grateful to share this space and journey with all of you and ready to embrace 2026 with open arms and curiosity 💚🌱

Happy New Year friends 🥳

Lots of you asked for my crumpet recipe so here it is!

Vegan crumpets with raspberry-chia jam

150g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chia seeds
200ml almond milk
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp dried yeast mixed with 1 Tbsp water

Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and chia seeds in a bowl. Add almond milk and whisk till smooth. Add sugar, baking powder and dissolved yeast. Whisk till combined then stop. Cover and place in a warm place for an hour till batter rises.

Drop half a ladle full of batter into a hot non-stick pan that has been greased with oil. Use greased crumpet rings or a mini frittata pan if you have to make them round and thick. Otherwise just ladle straight into the pan but it will be less thick. Wait till bubbles form and flip. Cook till lightly browned. You can reheat them in a toaster if you like.

For the jam, gently heat 1/2 cup of frozen berries in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, 1/2 tsp chia and a small dash of vanilla. Let it bubble gently. Once thick, turn off heat. You can store leftover jam for 2 days in an airtight jar in the fridge.

That’s it! Enjoy this easy peasy lovely breakfast and let me know how it turns out for you 😊❤️

Today the world lost a wonderful human being and real legend, Dr. Jane Goodall. Her work with chimpanzees changed how we see animals, nature, and the planet but beyond that, she truly lived her values - choosing a vegetarian lifestyle and advocating tirelessly for compassion and conservation✨

I had the honour of cooking for Dr Jane early on in my career at a private dinner in Singapore. We even had a great conversation as I prepped while she shared her words of wisdom. I will never forget how she encouraged me on the path I was taking and said that being a vegetarian was the only way she could sustain her lifestyle of traveling 300 days a year pursuing her causes 🌱

Let’s hope that her legacy will continue to inspire us to live with compassion and protect our planet. Thank you for your kindness Dr. Goodall. 🙏 Rest in peace.

I am so happy THIS happened again 🙏❤️😊

I truly love what I do and to be recognized for it is just amazing.
Cooking and empowering others to create nutritious, feel-good meals is my passion 💕
But none of it would matter without my wonderful students. So a big Thank You to everyone who showed up with enthusiasm, joined my classes, and took the time to leave such thoughtful reviews. Your support means the world to me and I’m beyond grateful 🙏❤️
