Happy Seasonal Sunday,
There’s a certain artistry to cumin, a spice that doesn’t shout, but quietly transforms everything it touches. It builds warmth, depth and that unmistakable earthiness that makes every bite feel layered and rich.
When I make my chili, it all comes together quickly, a few fresh ingredients, a little heat and that moment when cumin hits the pan. Instantly, the air fills with a toasty aroma that signals something special is happening.
Even something as simple as roasting corn in a dry nonstick pan, no oil, just patience, becomes extraordinary once a pinch of cumin joins the scene. It’s the difference between good and unforgettable.

I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
