Make The Change
Shifting your habits can create a positive impact. It’s not just about diet; reconnecting with nature is crucial. I share lifestyle tips on Instagram and Facebook, providing glimpses of Menorca’s beauty.
Background
I grew up in Birmingham UK and while living in a carnivorous household, meat was an important part of a meal. Around age fifteen, I watched a documentary that changed me overnight and became vegan.
My exploration led me to Menorca at twenty-one, where I faced the challenge of limited vegan options. Navigating through health setbacks, I eventually returned to a plant-based diet, discovering the incredible effects of herbs and spices on well-being.
As a nutritionist and mother, I emphasize the importance of whole food plant-based living. I keep things simple, sharing recipes with easily accessible ingredients while linking to quality sources if needed.
Passionate about food freedom, our recipes cater to various preferences – nutritious, low-calorie, refined sugar-free, and gluten-free. I firmly believe that food nourishes the body and feeds the soul, infusing every meal with joy and satisfaction. Balancing a range of dishes, from spicy delights to comforting classics, I advocate for the holistic benefits of a well-rounded plant-based lifestyle.
My Blog Story
My journey began in the summer of 2020, just after the lockdown. Amidst feeling generally unwell, I turned to a strict, mostly raw diet for about four months – no processed foods, just an abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables, and invigorating juices.
As I gradually regained my vitality, I found myself compelled to share my wholesome recipes on Instagram. Through a series of username changes, ‘Dishing Out Plants’ emerged, encapsulating not only my journey but also my dedication to nourishing my family with plant-based goodness.
Fast forward to this present time, and what started as a mere backup for my recipes has evolved into this website. Despite a bustling schedule, I’m excited to delve deeper into sharing the hundreds of recipes I’ve cultivated over the years, and hey there’s many more to come.
My Passions
Cooking is my art and meditation. As a former dental nurse and teacher, I never imagined becoming a food blogger. Yet, merging my love for healthy cooking, photography, fitness, and yoga has been a dream come true.
I love experimenting with diverse plant-based ingredients, creating vibrant recipes I never knew existed. I firmly believe in the transformative power of food to nourish the mind, body, and soul.
FAQ`s
I love soups and Asian Cuisine, but I am also addicted to pizza, crisps, chocolate, and coffee. I believe staying healthy is all about balance.

My aspiration for the future is to introduce a vegan twist on Spanish tapas and traditional recipes, bread and pastry recipes, and more low-budget recipes while also offering nutritious and delicious baby food options.
My favorite spice is turmeric with black pepper because I believe in its powerful anti-inflammatory benefits and overall health properties. I take it daily in my golden milk and always add it to soups and casseroles for an extra health boost.
