Meat-Free Meal Magic
Meat-free meals aren’t ‘just for vegetarians’ – they’re a great way to balance health, flavour and budget, and knowing how to cook using pantry staples is great for when you can’t get to the shops. Plant and vegetable-based meals are good for you, plus they’re a lot cheaper to prepare than meat-heavy meals! Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration to really get the most out of your meat-free meals. Jane and Cath cook up a delicious meat-free meal of Sticky Tofu Bites that will change how you feel about tofu!
