Food can fix two of world's biggest problems - our personal health and the long-term health and prosperity of the planet. You can often spot me on TV, radio and in the digital space teaching people how to reconnect with what we eat, use what we have, reuse what we can, create less waste, and in general live in harmony with nature.
New Reel about life and love, and what we can do to make a more sustainable future for all! What I talked about:
- one big advice that was in yesterday’s edition of the newsletter
- I would love some help reaching people! Ask your friend and loved ones to sign up on Puneeta.ca/newsletter
- if you’re signed up and you did not receive my newsletter drop me a note here and I’ll get you set up 💚

I went for a walk looking for flowers but I found only buds! And I thought - that’s ok too, I’m good at waiting!
Happy almost spring world!

SHIFTING HOMES >>>
There’s NO NEWSLETTER in the inbox today, lovely people! You may have read earlier that I am shifting how Grounded, my newsletter is sent, and we are still fine-tuning the set up behind the scenes. In my pursuit of moving away from large American organizations, I have cancelled my contract with my previous newsletter system. From a large American company, I am moving to a far smaller system based in England/ Ireland. Their data is also housed in the UK AND they have what I hope will become more solid green policies ✅✅✅🤞
So it’s taking us a while to move all of this over. If you are missing my writing today hop on over to Puneeta.ca/articles - there are a number of old editions of the newsletter up there already.
In other news, during the email cleanup, I discovered 100s of email addresses (two segments totalling 480 people!!!), people who had signed up for my newsletter but had not received it in a while. If this is you, so sorry, there were rules built into my earlier email system that I had missed. You will be getting a note from me this week to remedy things - let’s stay in touch but there’s something you have to do first! Check your inboxes later this week - spam folder too!
Happy Sunday!!!

I’ve changed my Instagram name here to . Most of you may know this already, MapleandMarigold.com is my food and culture blog that I started as a love letter - a little bit of India and Canada and a whole lot of delicious food and flavour.
If you would like to hear about sustainable, enjoyable, delicious living practices, find me on .author that’s my official author’s account. I have a new website too at puneeta.ca, that’s a central hub for my new writing, speaking and media work.
It’s still business as usual over at MapleandMarigold.com. I hope you are signed up for my newsletter over there so you hear about what’s going on behind-the-scenes!
In the meanwhile this gorgeous photo was taken by of YEARS AGO! I can’t wait for spring to bloom!

You may have noticed I’ve changed my Instagram name to .Author.
For years, I’ve been writing about what’s good for us - and for the planet too. First on the blog, then my newsletter, recently, my cookbook, Good Food Healthy Planet, to articles, videos, workshops, and all the stories I share here. The mission is clear. It’s time to build momentum.
I’m opening up to make more space for my work — and for myself. If you got last night’s newsletter, you know what I’m talking about.
Cooking. Climate. Connection. Simplifying good food and sustainable living for all.
My website has also relaunched at puneeta.ca that’s now a central hub for my writing, speaking, and media work. Thanks to and her intentional design work, it’s looking good 🌸☀️
MapleandMarigold.com is still around, and you can follow me there on .
Thank you for being here.
With love,
Puneeta
