WELCOME TO CAFE HAVEN, an internet recipe site for healthy cooking & conscious living!
I
love sitting at my favorite cafés with my friends or my laptop. I also
enjoy inventing healthy and tasty dishes. So I’ve decided to combine my
two passions and open my own café… well, on the web to begin with.
I’m
a mental health therapist and group facilitator by occupation. So why
am I motivated to share recipes here? My mission is to empower
individuals and groups by
sharing ideas and teaching tools
for enhancing awareness and leading a conscious and meaningful life.
Psychology may be helpful when you are trying to learn how to increase
your awareness level. However, I believe it’s also important to take
into account
the physical reality, including what we eat and drink.
What you consume directly affects the brain, as you may recall your own
experience of drinking alcohol, for example.
Introduced
here are some of the recipes, mostly simple, easy-to-make vegetarian/vegan dishes, that I would serve if
I were to open my own café. They are based on health-related
information that I acquired through my layperson’s research, as well as
trials and errors in my kitchen. Some are my originals, others are
arrangements of recipes I found here and there.
I hope you will enjoy
trying them out, but I also encourage you to talk to your holistic
health professionals and do your own research about what diet would
best suite you. And most of all, please listen to your body and
feelings when you try the recipes, and feel free to adjust them to your
taste.
I hope you will feel like you are in a cozy neighbourhood café while browsing through the site!
