prem pakana is sanskrit for "cooking with love", which is the underlying premise for the purpose of this blog: to inspire others to cook with compassion and kindness, to cook vegan. ahimsa is the sanskrit term for this idea: that 'dynamic harmlessness' should include avoiding specific foods and products to be considerate of the lives of humans and animals, and actively participating in beneficial actions.
i hope that the enteries and recipes in this blog inspire you, my readers, to live life with the love and compassion of ahimsa, and that this blog can be "food for thought" that fills more than just your belly, but your soul and entire being.

"We, as humans, have not been given roots as obvious as those of plants, the surest way we have to lodge ourselves within this blessed earth is by knowing where our food comes from"
