Hello, I’m Vasanthi

I’m a registered dietitian in Singapore. For eleven years I worked hospital rosters, and I know the vending machine at 4 a.m. very well.

Plate notes began as a note I sent to the nurses on my ward. Now it goes out every Sunday morning: one small idea, a photo from my week, and nothing to count.

I like ordinary food. Kaya toast, a pot of dal, whatever looks good at the market, eaten at times that fit the life you actually have.
