A couple of weeks ago I printed this recipe for black bean and sweet potato burritos and added it to my stack of must-try recipes.

That is I wait until the curds are separated from the whey and I then mix any additional ingredients ...

Looking for a quick and easy okara recipe? Try these veggie meatloaves on for size (or eat them at least). What's this okara stuff? Okara is the soy pulp you are left with in the process of making soy milk. To make soy milk, soaked soy beans are ground with water. The water then filters out to make the "milk" and the pulp left in the ...

It's time for another set of free recipe cards to print! A little cheesy, yes, but still cute nevertheless (I think so, but then again I would because I made them). This printable recipe card template comes in four colours: green, aubergine, brown, and blue, and features a child alongside her baby brother. Same applies. Right click --> save as....
