Dreena’s Kind Kitchen (a book of 100 wholefood recipes)
Dreena’s Kind Kitchen is a nice book by one of the world’s favourite cookbook authors, who always uses fresh wholefood ingredients and uses a little oil and maple syrup (she’s Canadian!) with recipes that will appeal to most tastebuds. This book offers 100 easy-to-make and delicious recipes.
This is a book you will use, whether you want a quick weeknight supper. From breakfasts to small bites to dinner and dessert.
It’s always amazing that if you go into any bookshop (even independent ones), the booksellers have not worked out what the really tasty and nutritious vegan cookbooks are. Give the ‘standard bestsellers’ a miss and go for a good one, like this one (you can order it from indie bookshops).
Read up on food safety for people and pets. For tinned ingredients, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on upper cans to pinch rims together, to stop wildlife getting trapped.
Unless you have food waste bins, just bin pepper and allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallot, chives), citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps. To avoid acids harming compost creatures.
