Probiotic 101 and How To Make Rejuvelac

I came across rejuvelac while looking for ways to make vegan cheese. I gave it a go and have since successfully made a few batches of this stuff. As it turns out, rejuvelac is not only easy to make but is also rich in probiotics! Score!

By the way, I now have with me, the coveted Artisan Vegan Cheese by Miyoko Schinner which, I must say, is ah-mayyy-zing! My non-dairy nut-based cheddar is nicely maturing as we speak.. should be ready in the new year.

Interview with Kim Miller from Kinda Bacon

My first taste of Kinda Bacon was at the Sydney Vegan Festival last year. I was handed a packet by one lady to give out to other volunteers and the chefs who were doing cooking demonstrations. She looked stunning, tall and slender with such clear skin and the best boy-cut I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I later found out that her name was Kim, and she was the founder of Kinda Bacon – a delicious, crunchy, bacon-y snacks made from coconut.

Fast forward another year, and I had the privilege to interview Kim. Kim is such a lovely and cool person to talk to. She has a lot of experience in the twists and turns of life and you could tell from the interview how passionate she is with what she does and with her vegan lifestyle. Hope this interview will inspires you as much as it has inspired me.

Vegan Soba Mee Goreng With Teriyaki Tempeh

There’s no denying I love a good stir fry. It’s easy, speedy, and it transforms any left overs you have in the fridge. One night, it occured to me that I haven’t had fried noodles for a while and I had this sudden craving for the sweet mee goreng I used to have as a […]

Simple Acai Berry Smoothie

Here’s another ‘superfood’ with which you should get acquainted. Açaí (ahh-sigh-ee) is a berry harvested from palm trees found in Brazil and Peru in Central and South America. It has become really popular due to its varied health benefits, as it is high in antioxidants, minerals, healthy fats, and vitamins.   Açaí berries come in several forms such […]
