This blog will follow my journey into preparing delicious, well balanced meals in the hopes that it can help others on the same healing path as me and at the very least share the wonders of elevating recipes with the introduction of simple combinations of spices.
Welcome, I’m Vanishree, the face behind the blog, SimplebutSplendid.
Growing up I was constantly surrounded by good food. My mom, grandmothers and aunts were always cooking and food was definitely our family’s love language.
It’s no wonder that my love of cooking took hold at a very young age. Binge watching the food network has been my favourite way to pass the time for as long as I can remember.
In my late teens I left home to attend University, my hectic schedule allowed for quick meals which too easily resulted in fast food. This wreaked havoc on my body and I’ve been dealing with the repercussions ever since. Over the years I have learned to listen to my body and adapt to a cleaner diet however I still have some ways to go to heal the damage that’s been caused.
Today my main focus is trying to use my love of food to heal my body. I am definitely still learning but as you will discover a lot of what I like to cook is influenced by my South African Indian heritage and my love of travel.
Thank you for visiting my page and I hope you find it helpful and enjoyable.
