Unlocking the Hidden Flavors and Stories of AAPI Month at Remy Morimoto Park—Why This Celebration Will Change How You See Food and Culture Forever
As a plant-based chef, what do you envision as the way forward to encourage people to include more fruits and vegetables into their diets?
One of the things I like to stress the most is that vegetables can be treated with as much care, if not more care, than meat and other animal products. I think a lot of people put in the minimum effort when preparing veggies or may even just eat them raw. When we marinate, smoke, sous vide, roast, or slow cook them, the result is so different.
Nowadays, people have developed this hunger for more global cuisines and are more interested in trying dishes from other cultures, which is a great way to encourage individuals to incorporate more fruits and veggies into their diets. When you start to explore beyond just the United States, for instance, and see what the world has to offer, you find that there are so many different types of fruits and vegetables that you can enjoy. Additionally, there are so many more flavor profiles and spice blends to work with to season your vegetables. Keeping it interesting for the palate is so important!
