In today's video we're discussing my new book on how to have a sustainable kitchen, keep it clutter free, ethical and as zero waste as you can. I'll also be unravelling an old knitting project, making something new and preserving food. I try to live as sustainably, minimally and as consciously as possible and so decluttering is a something I strive to reduce the need for in my life. But, things change, bodies evolve, our items may break beyond repair and there may be a need for decluttering. Today we're going to find out!

This is episode 3 of my redefining myself in my 30s because just because we get older doesn't mean we are any less valuable and there is so much more we can get out of life!

Ingredients: 2 ½ cups almonds ⅛ tsp Geotrichum Candidum ⅛ tsp Penicillium Candidum 2 capsules of 30 billion CFU probiotics (or 4 15 billion CFU probiotic capsules) 1.5 Litres water 4 Tbsp Lemon juice Salt
Cheesecloth Nut milk bag Container with a lid to protect the cheese as it grows mould Baking paper
Put the almonds in a bowl, cover with water and soak overnight. Drain the almonds and remove their skins. Blend the almonds with 1.5litres of water. Strain the liquid through a nut milk bag. Place the strained liquid in a big pot and add the lemon juice. Stir the lemon juice through the liquid thoroughly.
Leave the mixture, covered, for 5-6 hours. The lemon will curdle the milk so we can separate the liquid from the curds. Place a cheese cloth over a sieve, and place the sieve on top of a bowl. Gently ladle the curdled liquid into the cheesecloth. Let the liquid slowly drip through. Cover and allow the liquid to drip overnight.
The next day you will have your milk curds sitting in the cheesecloth. Transfer to a clean glass container, add the probiotics and other cultures. Mix thoroughly, cover with a loose lid and leave at room temperature for one day.
The next day, sterilise a cheesecloth with boiling water. Place it in a bottomless round mould. I use a tart tin. Spoon in the almond curds. Gently fold over the cheesecloth to cover the top of the curds. Place a lid over the top and leave for one day.
The next day, remove the mould, and gently peel back the cheesecloth. Sprinkle over a little salt, then place a square of baking paper on top of the cheese, and carefully flip it over. Gently remove the rest of the cheesecloth. Sprinkle a little salt over the other side, replace the lid and leave in a cool place for 1 day.
For the next 5 to 7 days, or until the mold has fully grown, you will repeat the following process. Place a piece of baking paper on the cheese and flip it. Replace the lid and leave for 24 hours. Wipe down any moisture that forms on the lid or bowl covering the cheese. After 5-7 days (maybe a little longer), a thick mold should form around the entirety of the cheese. Wrap it up in a couple layers of baking paper and place in the fridge. Allow the almond brie to add for at least 2-5 days. Then enjoy!

Ingredients: 150g Bread flour 150ml water 125ml soy milk 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp instant yeast ½ tsp salt
Measure out the liquid and warm to 110f / 43c. Add the flour, salt & liquid to a bowl and mix. Then add the baking powder, yeast and mix. Cover, and set aside for 15 minutes. Heat a pan with a knob of vegan butter. While that heats, grease 3 small baking tins (these help the crumpets to keep their shape. Once the pan is hot, ladle in about half a ladles worth of mixture into each tin. Wait for the bubbles to form on the top, and for the top to almost completely cook. This will take 3-5 minutes, or longer. Flip over and cook for 2 more minutes.
Either serve immediately or allow to cool and toast. Top with butter and jam.

Day 07 of 100 Days From Scratch Recipes: Focaccia Pizza
Ingredients: For the dough: 515g Bread flour 480g warm water 7g yeast 10g salt 5g Italian seasoning
Toppings: 5-6 shallots, lightly fried ½ red bell pepper ½ yellow squash ½ courgette Handful of olives Handful of fresh basil leaves & rocket 1 Cup Tomato sauce
Add water and yeast to a mixing bowl, and stir. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix into a shaggy dough. Drizzle over a little olive oil, cover and rest for 30 minutes. Perform one set of stretch and folds. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Perform one more set of stretch and folds, cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and drizzle generously with olive oil. Using both hands pull the dough from underneath its middle, upwards, and allow it to coil underneath itself in the baking tray. Drizzle with a little more oil, cover and allow to rise for 1 hour. In the meantime preheat your oven to 425f / 220c.
Prepare the toppings. When the dough has risen, oil your hands and create dimples in the dough. Add the tomato sauce, and all of your toppings. Sprinkle over some salt and a little olive oil. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Sprinkle over some fresh basil, and rocket. Slice into chunks and serve.
This is a great recipe for picnics, bbqs or any gathering!
Day 06 of 100 Days From Scratch Recipes: Raspberry & Pistachio Rolls
Ingredients: For the inside:
2 tbsp pistachios, blitzed into a powder (with some larger pieces)
For the jam: 250g fresh or frozen raspberries 60g sugar Zest of 1 lemon Juice of ½ lemon 1 tbsp cornstarch
Frosting: 2 heaping tsp of pistachio butter 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tbsp vegan butter (softened) 4oz of vegan cream cheese ½ tsp vanilla Pinch of salt
For the dough I used the recipe from @sarahsvegankitchen cinnamon rolls.
Add your raspberries to a pan with the sugar, lemon zest and juice. Place on medium heat and crush the raspberries until your mixture becomes quite liquidy. Add 1 tbsp of cornstarch and simmer for a few minutes until the jam has thickened a little. For the frosting, mix the cream cheese, vegan butter and pistachio butter together into a smooth paste. Add the powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
Once your dough has doubled in size, lightly flour a surface and roll it out into a rectangle. Layer the jam over the dough, then sprinkle over the powdered pistachios. Starting with the long size roll the dough into a log and cut into 9 equal pieces.
Place in a lined pan, and cover for 30 minutes (to double in size). Bake in the oven at 350f for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 mins. Then layer over the pistachio frosting, and sprinkle over some remaining pistachio pieces.
Serve immediately!! Follow for day 06.
#veganrecipes #summerrecipes #zerowastekitchen #easyrecipes #healthyrecipes #sustainableliving #cookingfromscratch #veganrolls #pistachios #raspberriesThe MOST perfect protein for vegans #cookingfromscratch #veganrecipesSustainably Vegan2024-08-10 | Day 05 of 100 Days From Scratch Recipes: Tempeh
Ingredients: 2 cups of dried soy beans 2 tbsp white distilled vinegar 1 packet of starter!
When buying starter, buy in small batches so it doesn’t go off. I’ve been using @culturesforhealth as they had good reviews and haven’t gone wrong yet.
• Soak soybeans over night • Dehull your soy beans (remove skins and split) if you’re strapped for time you can pulse them in a blender once or twice.
• Drain and cook until a little over al dente • Spread out on a baking sheet to dry and cool - some people use a hair dryer to keep the beans warm whilst drying them quickly.
• Add your vinegar and stir in • Add your starter and stir thoroughly • Add to the container you’ve chosen to use. Make sure to compress the beans a little. If you’re using plastic there need to be LOTS of holes for air flow. If you’re using glass, place the lid very loosely on top / ajar so air can get in. I like banana leaves or corn husks.
• Now it’s time to place in the box you’re using for the fermentation process. I use a bread proofing box at 88f (turning it off after 24 hours). You can use your oven with the light on, an instant pot of the yoghurt mode, or a wooden box. Consistency of heat is important.
• After 24 hours the tempeh will be creating its own heat which is why I turn my bread box off. You don’t want it to over heat.
• Once it’s ready, divide it into portions. I place half in my freezer and half in my fridge.
This process takes a few tries to get it right, so do some research, watch my YouTube video and give it a go! Once you have the traditional down, try making it with other beans, legumes and seeds!
I like to use peas (yellow split) because you don’t have to hull them and it saves SO much time!
