Favourite Basics

Welcome to the basics. These are starter recipes that will form the foundation of many of the other recipes in this book, and they are great to have ready prepped. You can taste the difference between shop-bought and home-made pesto or nut milks, and it’s so much easier to reach for a ready-blended gluten-free flour mix rather than having to weigh everything out each time it is needed. It’s worth setting aside a little time to prep these ahead – you can have a basics cooking day and make batches to store for another busy day.
