Hello, welcome to Beyond The Rice Bowl. I’m Jane, a passionate cook and food blogger for many years, and the author of three published cookery books. I’ve always been drawn to the stories that connect food, memory, and culture.
I was raised in a Buddhist family, where vegetarian and vegan meals were a natural part of daily life.
Growing up in Hong Kong, I often visited Buddhist temples and vegetarian restaurants known for their beautiful and creative plant-based cuisine. These meals were more than just spiritually nourishing. They were culinary treasures that revealed the magic and artistry of meatless cooking.
Without realising it, the seeds were already planted in me. Many years later, they began to grow, and that growth blossomed into a new identity: a resourceful vegan cook who finds joy in creating and sharing compassionate food.
Since becoming vegan in 2016, I’ve been developing home-cooked, plant-based recipes rooted in fond memories, cultural traditions, and love.
Through my Blog and YouTube Channel, you’ll find wholesome, flavourful vegan dishes inspired by Chinese and international cuisine. Each recipe is created to be comforting, accessible, and full of joy.
Thank you for joining me. Together, let’s bring more plant-based meals into our kitchens and onto our tables, spreading the love and happiness of compassionate cooking.
With love,
Jane
