I'm Alyssa and my goal is to empower more people to take charge of their health yet be able to enjoy authentic yummy foods. The inspiration behind Generation Kitchen is to honour my dads, one who's a chef specialising in Italian cuisine and the other who loves taking photos of food and my grandmothers and mothers who are really amazing cooks. They have shared so much about food with me and taught
me to value fresh produce from a very young age. Being Chinese Malaysian, my recipes will naturally tend towards more asian cooking but I also enjoy other cuisines. I will be replicating my family recipes with superfoods and also incorporating my health and nutrition knowledge. They always say “never change grandma's recipes” but I want to show that authenticity can be maintained whilst being healthy. Hey, I gotta put my touch on the recipes too ;)
My health belief is that there is no one size fits all diet and we should listen to our body. If i had to choose a diet that is most holistic to me, it would be the Paleo diet. Purely because their diet is based on grass fed meats, pastured eggs and chicken, low and right choice of carbs (sweet potatoes), plenty of organic veges and berries, raw dairy, stevia/xylitol and good fats/oils such as olive oil, coconut, ghee, butter and nuts in moderate amounts. This is my personal opinion, so please don't get offended. I try to incorporate benefits from other diets as well.Oh, also.. I definitely believe that "you are what you eat eats"! Go beyond societal norms. Read, research, think again! Let the adventures begin! xx
