This is so amazingly tasty that hardly can be described by words. Just need to be careful when enjoying bone in fish.

Craving for delicious foods drives me to be creative in my kitchen all the time. Thanks to my intolerance of all refine foods such as white flour, white rice and sugar, transition to use whole grains through sourdough fermentation, soaking and sprouting seeds has opened a whole new world to me! All my recipes share the same principle of low fat/oil, almost no added sugar/honey, whole grains and as much fermentation Incorporated as possible to unlock its nutritional value and plus lots of made ahead secret ingredients that I've learned over the years. In my pantry, you'll always found stocks of ancient grains (spelt, kamut, millet), brown rice in various varieties, jars of dry beans in multiple color and shapes. Kimchi made with all kinds of seasonal veggies in my fridge and homemade stocks in my freezer all the time. Join me on this journey eat whole 2 thrive!
