Many of the plant-based recipes gathered here were not invented for celebration or display, but for daily life—for families, small kitchens, and moments of attentiveness. They reflect a way of cooking that values patience over speed, simplicity over excess, and harmony over perfection. Whether humble noodles or fragrant vegetables, each recipe offers more than a meal: it offers a way of paying attention to how we cook, how we eat, and how we care for ourselves over time.
