Pratique du Shadowing: I can finally share this with you!! 🥹🌿 | Simply Plants - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

When I was younger, I would go days without eating a fruit or vegetable.

My parents tried, they really did.

They made home-cooked meals and encouraged me and my sisters to take care of ourselves, but I just wanted grilled cheese sandwiches and instant noodles.

And when I got older and started studying nutrition in uni, I started to care more about what I was putting in my body.

I wanted to eat better, and so I did.

But before long, that shifted into, I want to eat cleaner.

And so food became something to control, like something to perfect.

And it all stopped feeling simple.

It just felt like pressure.

And I know I'm not alone in that, because one thing I've seen both professionally

and online is how quickly the desire to eat better can turn into guilt and a list of food rules.

But over time, I started to see food differently.

Yes, as nutrition and nourishment, absolutely.

But also as comfort, as connection, as creativity, and something that can nourish more than one part of us.

And so I found joy in cooking for the first time in my life.

The kitchen became my happy place.

And my hope has always been to share food in that way.

No extremes, no guilt, no counting anything.

Just really good food that feels welcoming and full of life.

Essentially to remind people that nourishment is not just about what's on the plate, but it's also how it makes us feel.

And that hope is what led to this.

So this is our debut cookbook.

This is so surreal, I can't even believe I'm saying this right now.

This is actually also not our cookbook, obviously.

This is just the cover of the cookbook on a foam board.

The actual cookbook comes out later this year, and in fact we even have a bigger version of the cover just didn't fit in the bike basket.

But this is all thanks to you.

I have been making videos on YouTube now for almost 10 years.

And every time I post a recipe video or a nutrition video, the question I get asked more than any other is, when are you coming out with a cookbook?

And I'm always like, I hope one day, well now that day is here we have a cookbook

so I've been working on this cookbook for more than two years now

and let me tell you even though we make recipes all

the time here at Pickup Limes it's nothing compared to writing

a cookbook this is something else entirely this is such a labor of love

and I do want to say

that even though it's my name on the cover I'm

so grateful to all the amazing people

that have helped me to achieve this dream I'm

so proud of this I love it so much and I hope you do too.

So let me tell you more about it.

It's called Simply Plants

and my only hope with this book is that it encourages

and helps people eat and enjoy more plants and to feel good while doing it.

So inside you're gonna find some of our best recipes like for the last six years since I've known

that I want to do this I have been tucking away the best recipes

that we've been making to put in here and you're gonna love them.

They're approachable simple recipes that use everyday easy to find ingredients.

These are recipes you're you're gonna want to make again and again, whether you're plant-based or not, whether you're making it for yourself or for other people to show them how amazing plant-based food can be.

And as always too, it follows our ethos, our philosophy here at Pickup Limes Which is no extremes no guilt simply plants the cookbook comes out in October,

but it's available for pre-order right now I'm gonna leave the links for you in the description box below

and it is gonna be available

Globally and one thing I want to share

that I didn't know in case you didn't know too is

that pre-orders are Exceptionally important for authors because it essentially tells bookstores and retailers Hey, there's interest and demand in this book And so they print it

and stock it and that helps it get into the hands of more people

So if you think you might be interested in getting this book

Pre-ordering it right now really helps to show your support

and be sure to keep your receipt too

Because we're gonna be sharing some fun pre-order gifts down the line

And I also want to say thank you to you genuinely Thank you

so much if it weren't for you guys making our recipes leaving comments expressing interest in a cookbook like this

I don't think we would have had the opportunity to work with a publisher on a project like this.

So from the bottom of my heart, I just want to say thank you so much.

And I'm so excited for you to hold this cookbook in your hands.

Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
