As the calendar turns to a new year, the tradition of setting resolutions often prompts reflection on personal goals and aspirations.

For many, including myself, this ritual extends beyond self-improvement of culinary adventures and innovations in my meal preps. I want my kitchen to become a canvas for creativity, where I can really explore flavours and techniques that transform mundane routines into exciting experiences, because cooking most part of the year can get meh.

The transition from festive indulgence to a more health-conscious lifestyle has its Pros and Cons. After a season of lavish feasts and celebratory gatherings, the body needs a break from heavy, rich foods. Embracing lighter eating habits not only aids in physical detoxification but also fosters mental clarity and emotional balance I’ve discovered.
