Say cheese?!

Missing a bit of cheese in your new vegan life? I hear you!! It was one of the hardest things to give up, and probably still is.

Luckily I found Anja on youtube! She’s German, just as me, but now lives and prepares plant-based plates of happiness in Australia. I’m not sure that counts for something on my quest to quench my cheese appetite, but her does a very good job! 

There’s more benefits to this dish though than my cheesy happiness!

Seasonal eating 

Let’s not steal the show for the main ingredients: Sweet potato and Kale!
Both are in season now in the UK, which makes this dish even more healthy and benefits the environment. Seaonal food even tastes better as it ripens naturally and is picked at the right time. Generally, seasonal and local vegetables (and fruit) retain more nutrients than their non-seasonal counterparts because they travel less milage before landing on your kitchen counter.
Less travel and less refrigeration means less fuel and energy usage, hence less CO2 emissions and other pollutants into our atmosphere. As a consequence, our planet is happy too!

Enough said – now: Guten Appetit!
