DIY Recipes

Almost all the food we buy, especially processed food, comes packaged. Whether it comes from a grocery store or market, restaurant or fast-food or even food delivery, its difficult to find food that isnt artificially encased. Not only does all majority of this plastic end up in our landfills, oceans and waterways, the trouble with this packaging actually begins at its creation. Each form of packaging uses a lot of resources like energy, water, chemicals, petroleum, minerals, wood and fibers to produce. Its manufacture often generates air emissions including greenhouse gases, heavy metals and particulates, as well as wastewater and/or sludge containing toxic contaminants.

So why not avoid the waste and make what we can from bulk ingredients at home! This blog features recipes that abide by this exact principle! Do bear in mind that this is a working blog, meaning whenever we find a new, delish & low-waste recipe, we’ll add it here - so keep your eyes peeled!
