5: Drawing on heritage to make vegetables exciting | Shane Stanbridge and C-Y Chia, founders of S+M Vegan and Lion Dance Café

Shane Stanbridge and C-Y Chia: “Vegan food has always been its own thing – it was never brought up in any sort of discussion about food broadly. There’s real food and then there’s vegan food. But now people are starting to see that vegan food is food and… are allowing us to transcend that category.” Stanbridge and Chia of S+M Vegan and Lion Dance Cafe join Singapore Noodles founder Pamelia Chia to share about how their heritage has influenced their food, plus: *The creative process and inspiration behind their dishes* *Ways to incorporate beans into our diet and make them delicious* *Plant-based umami-rich ingredients are* *Cooking techniques that transform vegetables* *Ways we can push different flavours into vegetables* To contact Pamelia with comments, questions, or speaker ideas, please email pameliaccq@gmail.com.
