A simple salad was the dish that kick started my blog on 28th of May 2013.

In the midst of uncertainty and uneasiness, simplyvegetarian777 was born, to investigate the purpose of self-existence, to understand my own presence and to re-kindle my creative side. No prior thought, no detail planning, just like that…it made its own existence and redefined me.
