About the participant

25 year old millennial (not sure if I should call myself that), who is obscenely and disproportionately obsessed with browsing the lanes of supermarkets and isles of dis-organizedly organised wet markets produce. Running through my mind are the recipes from Bon Appetit and Serious Eats, and the random snippets of Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson I manage to catch on the tele. Oh, how I wish I could live the Willy Wonka life. Yet at the same time, I take my health and nutrition seriously. Nagging at me are the Health Promotion Board healthy plates adverts, healthier choice labels on our foods and the somewhat rationale fear of developing heart disease, diabetes and kidney failure. With this virus situation that seems to be spinning out of control, the least I can do is to control what I put into my body and those of my love ones. So, my compromise is to create healthy alternatives for the foods that I love and salivate about. Heck, I can live vicariously through the likes of Nigella Lawson and Willy Wonka if it keeps me out of the general hospitals of Singapore.
