About urbanfoodlover

Hi there. Welcome to my blog. If you are looking for fuss-free vegetarian recipes or looking to include more veggies to your diet, you’ve come to the right place.

I am Adity, and I love creating vegetarian food from around the world. I love learning and experimenting with cuisines from countries across the world, and how I can make a vegetarian meal out of it all. This blog is a place for me to share with you simple vegetarian foods prepared with fresh, wholesome , real and unprocessed ingredients.

I started writing this blog when I was living and working in Singapore. In early 2017 my husband and I moved to Sydney, Australia. However I have continued to learn and teach myself all about different cuisines, cooking techniques and foods via the Internet, cookbooks and taking cooking classes as needed. I continue writing in this space about vegetarian recipes from around the world and my foodie related travel experiences. I hope this blog inspires you to incorporate simple home cooking and more veggies in your diet.

Few random things about me and this blog

  1. I do not follow any specific diets as I don’t have any food restrictions. I sometimes eat eggs, chicken or fish if I can figure out their source and if they have been raised via sustainable and ethical means. Otherwise I try to make food from scratch as much as I can , eat lots of fresh fruit/veg/nuts/spices, avoid all processed packaged foods and support local food producers as much as I can.
  2. The recipes on this blog do not include any meat. But I do use dairy and eggs in my baking or cooking. However I always like to include various diet alternatives in the recipes I write about (vegan/gluten-free/ etc)
  3. I love tahini, dark chocolate and a bowl of warm dal
  4. I grew up in the western city of Pune India
  5. I love traveling and learning about various cultures through their food and styles of cooking
  6. My favourite spices to eat and cook with are cardamom, fennel seeds and vanilla
  7. My ultimate comfort food will have to be slices of sourdough bread toasted and slathered in fresh salted butter
  8. I love trying out and experimenting with all kinds of teas from around the world (herbal/non-herbal/green tea/ black tea/oolong/ earl grey/ lose leaf/tea bags etc)

    Iโ€™ve recently switched my food blog over to be self-hosted which I hope will make it more user-friendly in the future. As a result, if you were following Canโ€™t Stay Out of the Kitchen via email, WordPress, or using RSS feeds through Google Reader or some other way, you are no longer subscribed. If you wish to continue receiving future posts from my blog you will need to re-subscribe. Sorry for the inconvenience, Teresa.

    Hi, I came across your blog while searching for recipes. Nice blog. I’m a food addict myself and I saw your soba noodle post. Will try that this week cos I got a packet of soba noodles I bought on impulse and still contemplating on what to cook it with.
