Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 17th of June 2021

If you like Salsa, this is a great way to make it zero waste.  Why buy expensive products in plastic when you can just make them yourself without the plastic packaging for less?  Just remember to buy the loose ingredients. Salsa is the easiest thing to make.  It is low in calories and goes with most things. 

Waste

Short term

  • Zero.

Long term 

  • Zero if you don't use salt or can get it without the packaging.

Ingredients 

  • Tomatoes x 5
  • Onion x 1 small
  • Chillies or Jalapeno peppers x as hot as you like!
  • Salt x a dash (optional) 
  • Herbs (optional)
  • Water x 2 tbsp

Method 

Step 1

  1. Chop three of the tomatoes and the onion. 
  2. Pulse in a blender or continue chopping.  The idea is to get small chunks of tomato and onion not a paste.
  3. Poor out into o bowl or container. 

Step 2

  1. Blend the remaining two tomatoes to a paste. 
  2. Poor the tomato paste over the chopped tomatoes and onion. 
  3. Add the herbs, chillies and/or jalapeno peppers then give it a good mix.
Tomato paste.

Results

A beautiful red coloured dip with a fantastic aroma and a powerful taste. This come out really well!

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
