About Meesha

Hey there, and welcome to my site! I'm Mee Sha, a Malaysian Chinese food blogger with a deep passion for cooking and a commitment to sharing nutritious yet flavorful meals, predominantly Asian recipes.

Where this all started...

Growing up as a Malaysian Chinese, I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience different cuisines from almost all around the world. But it did not stop there. I was super passionate about cooking at a very young age and spent countless hours helping my mom out in the kitchen!

Since embracing a vegetarian lifestyle four years ago, I've made it my mission to recreate my beloved childhood dishes, proving that traditional recipes can be transformed into delectable plant-based alternatives without compromising taste. I prioritize using wholesome plant-based ingredients, including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, to create nourishing meals that everyone will enjoy.

As a student of dietetics and nutrition, I ensure that the recipes featured on this website are wholesome and healthy without compromising on taste!

Frequently asked questions

What is your culinary background?

With over a decade of experience in the culinary realm, my journey as a self-taught cook began at a young age. Starting by helping out in the kitchen at the tender age of 8, I quickly developed a deep passion for cooking. Throughout the years, I have honed my skills through countless hours of practice and experimentation.

While pursuing my degree in dietetics, running a food blog has provided me with valuable time management skills. This allows me to effectively gauge the time required for readers to create a meal, ensuring that my recipes are practical and achievable within their busy schedules.

My culinary knowledge extends beyond personal experience. I have studied cookbooks and watched numerous cooking videos to broaden my understanding of different cuisines and techniques. This continuous quest for culinary knowledge has greatly influenced my recipe development process.

Can your recipe accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

All of my recipes are plant-based and dairy-free, and most are vegan. Furthermore, many of my recipes can be easily adapted to accommodate gluten-free diets, and I always provide substitutions when applicable.

I encourage you to share my recipes and pictures on social media or your own website as long as you provide proper attribution by linking back to the original content. However, please note that the full publication of a recipe, whether on a website or any social media platform, requires prior permission. Feel free to reach out to me at myplantifulcooking@gmail.com for further inquiries.

How do you come out with new recipe ideas?

Creating new recipe ideas is a continuous process of inspiration and innovation. I draw inspiration from various sources, such as trying new foods, revisiting dishes I enjoyed before adopting a vegan lifestyle, and exploring the vast culinary world on social media platforms.

I take pride in adding creative twists to recipes, ensuring that each dish on my blog reflects my unique culinary style.

Can I make substitutions or modifications to your recipes?

I highly recommend following the recipe to the best of your ability to ensure success in recreating my recipes. However, I usually provide a list of substitutions and variations of the recipe to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences.
