A report in Sciencedaily.com has brought my attention to a recent study  published in the American Journal of Epidemiology by a European research group - the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). We all knew intuitively that eating fruit and veg was good for us!... but now some compelling scientific evidence!

This particular paper finds that 3 out of 100 deaths could be prevented if everyone ate an extra 200grams of vegetables. This is mainly because of a reduct...

Agedashi tofu - Japanese style Tofu

Posted by Thambili on Monday, October 14, 2013, In : How to 
I love agedashi tofu! It is one of my favourite ways to eat tofu... If it wasn't for the deep-frying we could eat tofu this way much more often!

Posted by Thambili on Thursday, October 10, 2013, In : website news 
I've been so busy over the last year that I have completely neglected this site!

 About me

I've been a vegetarian for over 19 years... so obviously I have eaten a lot of vegetarian meals.

I am a Buddhist, which for me is very much related to my choice of lifestyle.

Finally, I have a background in health.

It will probably become obvious from my posts and articles how I combine these 3 aspects of my life.
