@JustinParke here with the last @NaturalMedicine post of 2020, and I'm glad it's a curation featuring our awesome #plantbased chefs from the Natural Medicine Community and the greater Hive blockchain.

🥳🍲 Happy #PlantBased New Year 2021!! 🥘🎊

     I hope it is a good thing I wasn't able to find many #plantbased recipe posts for this week's curation. After all, as I write this, it's New Year's Eve in Suriname, and many folks are busy with party preparations, especially with the logistical challenges of doing this while a 7pm curfew is in full-effect.

     Assuming many are busy and unable to share their pre-2021 culinary creations, I was still able to find a few high-quality #plantbased recipe posts to share with you Hivers. I look forward to what 2021 brings our community, and it does seem before this next year is gone and done, there may be hope for a percentage of pre-corona normalcy to return to Earth.

     Every week I select a 5% beneficiary, and I must choose @carolynstahl as the last beneficiary of 2020 because she has shared so many delicious dishes with us this year, and been an engaging and positive force within the NM Community.

     This legendary NM chef never disappoints, and this Christmas spread is one hearty and appealing #plantbased meal. I think any meat-lover with decent taste buds surely wouldn't pass this plate up if given the chance.

     There is a nice little story in this post about @caroylynstahl's first Christmas dining experience after moving to Canada from Thailand as a young girl. I can definitely relate to the cultural culinary shock of moving to a new country and getting acquainted with some of the foods, for better or for worse.

     I wasn't aware kombucha and coffee could be friends until I read this post. Even though I've never tasted kombucha due to the small alcohol content, I often make a ginger bug to ferment and carbonate various drinks, and I feel the two probably have a similar taste, but this is only based off of me smelling kombucha.

     Stellar photography and easy-to-follow instructions make it very easy for anyone to give this drink coffee kombucha drink a try, so long as you've got access to a SCOBY. This would be the perfect drink to keep you jacked and awake long enough to greet 2021.

     Shepherd's pie is a dish I never tried until I saw a veg-friendly version on a hotel menu while traveling in India. In the USA as a young boy, I was not raised as a vegan, so I am quite familiar with chicken pot pie, the most similar thing we have.

     Shepherd's pie is way tastier though, and there is something so right about mashed potatoes being used as a pie crust. Cheers to whoever in history thought to give this a try. This particular vegan shepherd's pie looks absolutely delicious!

     Beets, carrots, and ginger are all spicy partners that will give some kick to any dish, especially if used as fresh ingredients. The curry in this dish brings out the more earthy flavors of these vegetables, and the combination of spices looks delectable.

     There weren't many vegan recipes to curate this week, so I was quite fortunate to find this gem outside our community. It's also good to go exploring a bit when curating because I always manage to find a new content creator to follow, and I get to introduce these chefs to the Natural Medicine Community.

We hope you get involved with posting lots of yummy #plantbased #vegan #naturalmedicine #ecotrain recipes! Both communities are now also supported by OCD, so good quality posts might also get a little bit of extra love. Stay healthy, stay safe, and stay happy!
