Whenever I wanna prove to someone that they truly are vegetable lovers but just don’t know it yet; I roast them! Yup, I trick them right under their noses and transform them into veggie lover and it works all the time. My friends tell me that they had absolutely no idea that the vegetables I roast, could have been possible AND taste as amazing as they do. My heart smiles when this happens.

I promised to cook for one of my non vegetable eating friends and was in the mood for mackerel. Now I’ve taken mackerel to various levels, such as Fresh Mackerel in Coconut Sauce, Mackerel in Mushroom Sauce-Bon Femme and many others. I enjoy playing with my food. What better way to intensify the flavors of mackerel, than to add roasted vegetables to it? And so I did.

Oh how I wish I had taken a photo of my friend (who hates vegetables), while devouring my mackerel with roasted vegetables. I’m usually in paparazzi mode, but it was so darn d’luscious, I was in devour mode too. I was in total awe and excitement all at the same time, simply observing someone who claims to dislike tomatoes and all things in the vegetable kingdom, simply loving, enjoying and appreciating my seasoned hands. Once again, I’ve made myself proud.

What do people think? That my food is simply pretty? That all this food photography and food porn on MY website is actually someone else’s work? I was born to cook. My kitchen inspires me. Food excites me. I cook with love.

I remain blessed!
