I was gleeful at our last Beginners Ballet with Adrian Arroyo; for once I wasn’t late. And when I say ‘not late’, I mean I got there with enough time to scurry into the hall and whip on my ballet shoes to be ready to start barre work before the music started. Now, I try…

Provamel and a three-course plant-based meal
