    Economy & Communities
    Would you consider using an induction cooking surface? If you have used one before, what do you like about induction cooking?

    Yes and I highly recommend it. I recently moved to an apartment with an induction stove and it did take a bit to get used to. Compared to my old gas stove, it does seem to take longer to heat up but once it does, it stays hot longer. It is more accurate in controlling temperature and the fact that it's combined in my electricity bill along with my electric water heater, eliminates another utility bill to worry about! My partner (the chef in our household) originally preferred the gas but he has since changed sides.

    What was the tastiest meatless or vegan meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?

    Today was a delicious crispy chickpea tabouleh from a Hello Fresh recipe. Love being able to try different cultural foods!

    Late post but began eating 1 vegetarian meal a day this week. Coming from a culture that revolves heavily around meat and animal biproducts, this has been very enlightening. It's a small step and hoping to continue this even after this month. Going to try to upgrade to 1 vegan meal a day! :)
