HOW IT GOT STARTED
The Story
Hello - I'm Mina,
I was born into a Chinese family in Hong Kong – we were omnivores and most meals consist of at least one meat dish.
Not much changed after I moved to the UK for further education in 2006 - until a fellow colleague introduced me to the world of plant-based diets in 2017. She opened my eyes to the benefits of a vegan diet – both health and environmental.
I found it really difficult to adhere to this diet as the conventional recipes were too dissimilar to the usual flavours that I have back home. I decided then to start making my own recipes – inspired by traditional home cooked meals I would have at home.
Truthfully, I am still a flexitarian – it is still very difficult to gain acceptance from the wider community. I truly believe that everyone has their own path towards a plant-based diet, some people can go cold turkey tomorrow, some are transitioning like me and others may just be curious or wanting to cut down the amount of meat they eat.
No matter where you are on this journey, you are welcome to join this family.
