Simply V Cooking Class (Aug 2024)
As we wrapped up the first series of our cooking classes, we couldn’t have ended on a sweeter note! Our final session, in partnership with VCAI, featured the rich and creamy Vanilla Slice, a dessert that had everyone savouring each bite. We also explored the delightful combination of Egg and Tofu in one mouthwatering dish.

World breaks hottest day record again, despite El Nino’s end
As heatwaves sizzled around the world and wildfires engulfed parts of the Mediterranean, Russia and Canada, the global average surface air temperature rose to 17.15 degrees Celsius on Monday (Jul 22). That was 0.06 degrees Celsius higher than Sunday’s record according to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, which has tracked such data since 1940.
Karsten Haustein, a climate scientist at Leipzig University in Germany, said it was “remarkable” that the record had been breached again now with the world well into the neutral phase of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation.
Animal agriculture produces 65% of the world’s nitrous oxide emissions which has a global warming impact 296 times greater than carbon dioxide.

Our cooking class in collaboration with VCAI continues. This session, we embraced the savoury flavours of Vegetarian Shark Fin Soup, a thoughtful and delicious alternative. To satisfy our sweet cravings, we prepared delightful Red Bean Pancakes, crispy on the outside and filled with a sweet centre. Each session continues to bring us closer together, sharing not just recipes but also unforgettable moments.
Simply V Cooking Class (Jun 2024)
Our culinary adventure continues, thanks to our incredible partnership with VCAI! This time, we delighted in baking a sweet treat with Almond and Pineapple that filled the kitchen with its tropical aroma. Participants also learnt to complement the slight bitterness of Chinese Broccoli with Tofu which absorbs the savoury sauces. Each class deepens our bonds and enriches our skills, and we can’t wait to see what delectable delights our next session will bring!
Simply V Cooking Class (May 2024)
Our cooking class this month delighted food enthusiasts with two new recipes. Participants learned to make refreshing Strawberry Crepes and savoury Sweet and Sour Vegetarian Fish, showcasing the versatility of plant-based ingredients. The class was a fantastic opportunity for attendees to enhance their culinary skills while embracing a healthier, compassionate lifestyle.

“Never before in the history of Brazil had there been such a quantity of rain in one single location.”

The effects of urbanisation and climate change are converging in dangerous ways. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052, and approximately 3°C in 2100 based on current national government commitments. This will have disastrous impacts on cities.
Simply V Cooking Class (Apr 2024)
In our second Simply V cooking class, we delved into the culinary world once more alongside VCAI, this time exploring the delightful flavours of Mango Parfait and Teriyaki Tofu. The refreshing sweetness of Mango Parfait delighted our taste buds, while the savoury perfection of Teriyaki Tofu left us craving for more. As we wrap up another successful class, we’re already looking forward to the next one. Stay tuned for more delicious discoveries and heartfelt moments.
