The Entertainer Blogger Award

Thanks so much to Chrissy from Simply Chrissy for nominating me for this award, that’s so sweet. Please visit her blog, If you want to know more about natural health, wellness, recipes (vegan + vegetarian), eczema, care tips, fitness, life & good vibes ?

Why did you start blogging in the first place?

When I’m travelling, one of my top 3 things to have in my small bag is a notebook and a pen, where I write literally everything. I also have several books and loose papers where I write my ‘winning’ recipes.

For one or the other, people were always asking me for those, and for a long time in the back of my head I had the idea of having all my vegan travel adventures and recipes organised in just one place where everyone could access ❤ so it made sense to start a blog, and I’m loving it.

What is your favourite book?

This is a tough one because I love to read. So I will say a few …

Essay on Blindness by José Saramago
Blood River: A Journey to Africa’s Broken Heart by Tim Butcher
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
The War of the End of the World by Mario Vargas Llosa
Chasing the Devil: The Search for Africa’s Fighting Spirit by Tim Butcher

What do you dislike the most?

I dislike negative, nosy, impolite and prejudiced people.

I hate to see food and resources going to waste.

What is your favourite food at the mall?

I don’t eat at the mall.. There aren’t many, if any good vegan option.

What is your favourite pastime?

I have so many.. blogging (the obvious one), reading, drawing, painting, cooking, snorkelling, trekking, yoga, watch films and series, sunsets at the beach… oh wait, I was supposed to choose only one pastime…. well … travel is what I like to do the most 🙂

??5 questions from ORCHIDS + SWEET TEA

Watermelon ?

3. What is the one thing you couldn’t live without?

Fruit and Veggies

4. Have you ever made a dish that you found to the best dish you ever made? If so, what was it? If not, what do you think it would be?

Every time I do a recipe that I like a lot I get obsessed and I will say that’s the best one dish/desert/snack, etc that I know, and I will eat that for weeks… till I find something else 😀 😀 my current passion are vegan truffles (maybe tomorrow is going to be something else 😉

5. How would you describe yourself in 3 words? Why?

Passionated, positive, easygoing

Blogger Recognition Award

Hi everyone,

I was recently nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award by Rhythm from https://ritzflavours.wordpress.com Thank you for considering me for this 🙂

Rhythm is an enthusiastic cook and a vegetarian by birth. She has all kinds of vegetarian recipes with different influences, and that’s why I really enjoy her posts and I’m grateful to have been nominated by her.

A Little about My Blog

Well, I started my blog COOK THE BEANS 2 months ago so I’m totally new to this world of blogging . I post vegan or vegetarian recipes that I do in my daily life. Despite food my other passion is travel, so I write about different countries and how hard or easy is to be a vegan /vegetarian traveler there.

Advice to other bloggers

I’m so new in this blogging world that I don’t have any wise advise to give yet ? But I think, is all about loving what you do, be curious, enjoy the process of sharing and learning, and have FUN
