My cooking skills levelled up so much when becoming vegan re-inspired me to return to the kitchen, but since moving to rural Japan they continue to grow.. being the village vegan puts a fire in my belly.. (not literally, I have to add heat post-cooking as my daughter can’t yet handle spices). Today I made a mixed Japanese mushroom pie with roasted vegetables and the in-laws (and I) loved it.. we saved a plate for my brother-in-law who is working.. but we all have our eyes in it..
