June 18, 2018 by Ivy Chan

I have been getting my energy back. Slowly, but surely. These last two weeks have been a roller coaster- scary possibilities, tests, then good news, scary possibilities, tests, then more good news. Between these hospital visits and work, I did not have the energy (or the mental capacity) for much else. I have been reading…

The easiest, healthiest falafel- baked or air-fried and with an oil-free option

April 7, 2018 by Ivy Chan

Who doesn’t love falafel? The most delicious falafel I have ever had was in Berlin. And it was quite cheap. Was it Maroush? I cannot remember- and writing these, I realize how much I am missing that city. If there is a Berliner among you, they should please send me a note! Sigh. Anyway, I…

HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. I am an academic by training and a foodie at heart, in a small but mighty body. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, a proud mum of two little lions, and one little human. We have recently moved to the gorgeous state of Washington. I am back to a 4-year school to study Ayurvedic nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine. When I have time from school and our two-year-old, I like to read, write, bake, and consume more Medjool dates and dried figs than anyone I know.

Shakingmytofu aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable, and adaptable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring a little more light, health, and peace to the daily life. Feel free to spend time, have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images and articles. Contact me anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com or simply by filling out the form below. Look forward to hearing from you!
