    Plant-based basics

    Every kitchen has its tried and true recipes that are the building blocks for many a meal. These plant-based basics are favourites in my household, and if you can master them they'll give your everyday meals a lift.

    I love having a range of pestos, eggless aioli or mayo and other vegan dips or spreads on hand. If you like to meal-prep, try making a few during the weekend to have on hand for weekday lunches and dinners.

    • A hexagonal shaped jar full of golden coloured vegan parmesan sprinkle. The jar is open with the lid sitting beside it.
