Thanks, Mika for the nice initiative!

Hi everyone, my name is Daniela. I have a big passion for learning about food - flavours, ingredients, developing recipes, and experimenting in the kitchen. After finishing my PhD in Biology, I decided to finally start writing about my big passion, since I spend so much time experimenting and researching about food and cooking anyway. That's how my Substack (https://bitsandbitess.substack.com/) was born.

My newsletter celebrates and explores individual ingredients - staple and seasonal foods. Since I also read a lot about nutrition and sustainability, I came to believe that is key to finding easy and enjoyable ways to incorporate more plant diversity into our plates. Thus, Bits and Bites focuses on plant ingredients - from vegetables to pulses to aromatic spices.

What about my routines (this month's questions)? Getting into the habit of waking up without an alarm clock was a great change for my mornings - not waking up startled in the middle of a sleep cycle is already a better start to the day. I would like to break the habit of not picking up the phone immediately after waking up - I guess that would be helpful to keep my morning calm going for a bit longer.

Looking forward to connecting with other members of this community!

Hi Daniela. Love the idea of your newsletter (have just subscribed) – I also have a passion for flavour and finding ways of increasing plants and pulses by making them really delicious! I also wish I didn't immediately grab my phone when I open my eyes, but it's a work in progress..
