Homemade Zero Waste Veggie Stock
I used to buy veggie cubes. And somehow it got stuck in my head that they can be full of salt, so it’s better to go for the organic variety. So I bought the organic ones, but they are definitely not waste free. At the same time I was buying loads of fresh veggies every… Continue reading Homemade Zero Waste Veggie Stock

Most of the fiber in the ground soybeans remains in okara, along with significant amounts of protein and other nutrients including calcium. There’s plenty you can make from okara.… Continue reading Vegan Okara cinnamon cookies

Homemade Tahini Paste Recipe
Tahini is an essential ingredient of hummus. I have been making home made hummus for years now, but used to buy tahini, always moaning how expensive it was.
