Greetings #plantbased chefs, @JustinParke here with a new Plant Power Cooking Challenge. As @NaturalMedicine's Plant-Based Curator, I get to see Hive's most delicious recipes day in and day out. This cooking challenge is just another fun way to increase engagement and spark a little creativity in the kitchen.

Each Thursday I post a list of ingredients that you can use in any combination to make your recipe submission, and I share the link within the Plant Power curation posted every Thursday via the main @NaturalMedicine account.

Two weeks of this challenge are behind us, but time flies when you are eating well. I try and choose a set of ingredients each week so that everyone in every latitude will have access to at least one of the featured ingredients. The winner of Week 2 was an easy choice, we #plantbased chefs have been upstaged by @lizelle, who is not a strictly vegan chef.

Just look at her dish below, it is packed with so many different flavors, and she even paired it with a homemade vegan naan. Bravo @lizelle, and of course to the runners up, who made some tantalizing dishes as well.
