There's nothing better than fresh, farmer's market produce to go straight into Meaning of Food recipes. This can be anything from fruit and vegetables, to meat and fish, to honey and (rice-syrup) ice cream. A personal favourite for Meaning of Food recipes is home-grown herbs, including mint, sage, basil, rosemary and oregano.
Meaning of Food recipes incorporate ingredients that make you feel good by being good for you. Eliminating refined sugars in favour of natural sweeteners, such as agave syrup, dried fruits and fresh fruits, is not only beneficial to your health but also adds levels of flavour that surpass those created from less natural sugars.
Gluten and Dairy Free
For those with mild intolerances to severe allergies to gluten and dairy, Meaning of Food is your solution for recipes that will not disappoint.
Gluten-free products, which use ingredients such as rice, buckwheat, and quinoa, are an easy substitute for glutenous flours, pastas and breads, to provide a more varied and enhanced flavour that keeps your body happy.
Many have had to forfeit, or fear forfeiting, favourite cheeses and cakes due to a dairy-free lifestyle. However, Meaning of Food creates those same delicious flavours using dairy-free ingredients. Nut milks (such as almond milk) can be used for breakfast favourites, like pancakes, as well as baked goods and savoury sauces. Nuts, such as cashews can also be used to recreate the creamy, saltiness of recipes traditionally made with dairy, including lasagne, carbonara and soup. With Meaning of Food, you won't be missing out!
Vegan Recipes
Although Meaning of Food does not aim directly at creating vegan recipes, most recipes can be altered to cater to a vegan lifestyle. For example meats can be left out of stir fry or salad recipes, whilst keeping hold of the burst of flavours created by vegetables, spices and dressings. Vegetable stock is also a perfect substitute for chicken stock. For Meaning of Food vegan recipes, see the Vegan Recipe Page.
For those who may have forgotten to buy eggs one day, vegan substitutes can be your best friend. For example, chickpea water straight from a can of chickpeas replaces eggs in cake and mousse recipes to leave you absolutely amazed at the incredible taste. If you're not vegan already, you might be considering it soon!
