Butter Cauliflower

This vegan butter cauliflower recipe starts by marinating cauliflower in rich Indian spices and coconut milk, then pan-chars it before simmering in a creamy butter sauce. Better than takeout? I think so! This butter cauliflower is one of those recipes that ended up being even better than I imagined. Now, it isn’t an authentic Indian butter cauliflower, but the flavours are absolutely swoon-worthy.

How To Cook Tempeh

Tempeh isn’t just tofu’s lesser-known cousin! It’s also one of the best whole food meat substitutes out there. Learn how to cook tempeh like a pro and some of my favorite ways to use it. Like tofu , tempeh (pronounced tem-pay) is made with soy beans, but the similarities pretty much end there. This means that if you’re not a fan of tofu, you might still enjoy tempeh! While tofu has a soft or chewy texture (depending on the type you use), tempeh is a bit firmer, and it has an interesting texture because its primary ingredient is whole soybeans....
