Staples

Staple recipes for any vegetarian kitchen, from how to make caramelised onions to oat milk. These simple everyday recipes will teach you important basics.

Learn to make homemade staples yourself, reduce your packaging waste, and become more confident in a whole-foods kitchen. Many of these basic recipes are used elsewhere in other recipes and are useful to have on hand.

You'll learn basics like How to Make Vegetable Broth with plenty of tips, notes, and substitution options to suit your equipment and available ingredients.

Other vegetarian standards include Pickled Red Onions, Vegan Chocolate Ganache, Simple Marinara Tomato Sauce, and the ever-useful Coconut Whipped Cream.

Take these staple recipes with you to use in other meals, or as part of a weekly batch-cooking routine. Whether you're an absolute beginner or an experienced cook just exploring plant-based eating, there's something here for you.
