PLANT-BASED TIPS
Heavenly Yogurt
By Catherine Barclay
Soy yogurt is so delicious! (recipe; Cultured Soy Sour Cream, Summer 22-23 issue).It can set in about 10-12 hours. But try leaving it for 16-24hrs. The yogurt is that little bit thicker and tangier. I make it in the morning and leave it to set through the day, and overnight. The taste and texture next day is superb!

Fast Salad Dressing
For an instant salad dressing, simply stir piccalilli (recipe P.32) into soy yogurt. Great on coleslaw!

Food Wastage Tip
Save money and food waste, and add nutrition by including sliced silver beet stalks in your pickles and vegetable dishes. Sliced white and yellow stalks resemble celery, and pink stalks go well in soups and stirfrys, etc. The stalks are nutritious too. You’re your own silver beet and it’s food for free!

Healthy Snack
Freeze fresh grapes for 2 to 24 hours on a flat tray, then transfer them to a zip lock bag. They will be fine in the freezer for several months. Known as natural candy!
When Roasting Starchy Veggies
Potatoes, yams, yuca - try wrapping them in a tightly sealed foil packet for the first half of the roasting session. They'll steam and soften to tender perfection. Remove the foil halfway through so they can finish crisping and browning on the outside.

Ease Peel Fruits
Do you have problems peeling peaches, tomatoes or nectarines? Score a small X on the bottom of the fruit. Then just dunk them in boiling water for a few seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. Now you should just be able to peel the skin right off.
Tea For Flavour
Make your grains tastier with tea. Cook your quinoa, brown rice, or bulgar with tea infused water. Lapsang souchong, Earl Grey and chai work well homehacks.co
Speed Up Fruit Ripening
Don't wait for that peach or banana to ripen on it's own. Put your fruit in a paper bag and toss it. The concentrated ethylene gas will help it to ripen faster.

Easy Peel Potato
There's a much better way to peel a potato instead of using a peeler. Start by boiling your potato. Toss your potatoes into an ice bath after you boil them and watch the skin fall right off.
