In the future when I
decide to open my restaurant, I can see myself for sure of using the page in my
menu for strictly plant based foods. The reason why I would want to incorporate
this in my menu is because of my family history of heart diseases and
diabetes. Another big reason for doing

recipe.
Raw Ingredients
The Cooking Process
Finish Product
I was really pleased for how this dish came out, it was
really favorable and the cooking of all vegetables were spot on. It was a lot
of fun doing this recipe I’m not really into just eating just a vegan dish but
I really enjoyed it. It was that hard at finding the ingredients for
this recipe. I didn’t really learn new culinary skill, but I did learn that I
will eat more vegetables for sure. It’s really important that I do eat more
vegetables. The challenges I had was getting the right amount seasoning it took
a bit but eventually I got there, I added some extra spices the recipe didn’t
ask for. The spices I added were paprika and cinnamon, and garlic and herb
spice once I added these it really good seasoning. I would definitely make this
recipe again I might add some butternut squash and maybe turnip next time.
