Hello folks! Welcome back to PlantBasedRecipe.com! Sorry for the hiatus. After an illness, I had an accident that affected both of my hands, and have not spent much time in the kitchen or typing as a result. The hands are still healing, but I have learnt to work and type with six fingers and have started creating new recipes.

We are all probably starting many new routines and getting used to big changes with the pandemic continuing its course. While nothing much is great about the changes or what is going on, one benefit about this way of eating at least is it is well suited to a reduced budget, shelf stable staples (such as beans and rice!), and you can grow many of these things in a smaller size garden.

So without further ado, let’s get to some recipes! It’s summer time and I am busy preserving from our fruit trees. You may find these same same ingredients at your farmers markets and grocery stores at a reduced price - now is the time to buy the produce when it’s local, fresh and cheap and preserve for the rest of the year.

Really glad to be back, and hope to chat with some of you online!
