A few years ago I was starting out on my using-refill-for-shopping journey (at the lovely Harmless store, North London), and was introduced to a very special product.
Available to buy packaging-free was ‘grated’ vegan parmesan. What was this magical mysterious substance and how exactly was it made?
Little did I know it is literally the simplest to make and is so very effective at substituting parmesan.
I could eat it straight from the pot but it is so versatile and great in so many dishes – in pasta sauces, sprinkled over salad, as a pizza topping, added to make homemade pesto, and so much more.
Want to know how to make this gold dust?
