“Making something vegan, plant-based, or intolerance-friendly isn’t about taking things away until there’s no flavour left. It’s about knowing what to add back in to make it taste amazing and tweaking it to make it inclusive.”
Love this, it’s so true. We all just want delicious food, no matter what’s in the recipe. I love it when a chef finally gets that. It makes all the difference.
Thanks Lori that means a lot. Yes, I re read my post and thought-wow, I was okay to just have potatoes and beans for a dinner as that was all I could eat? Then it wasn't even edible. But it's not so hard to make good food, it's about thinking differently.
Flavored oils and butters can really transform vegetables - esp the ones frowned upon by picky eaters and kids. The idea of butter, capers, garlic and lemon zest sounds lovely.
Mine would be tadka - a neutral oil with black mustard seeds or fenugreek seeds. I have replaced regular olive oil with tadka (of olive oil) in a vinaigrette too, a recipe for my next post.

Thanks Annada, yes love the flavour and simplicity of flavoured oils and butters. What is your favourite?
