Carbon Cutters Recipes

Cooking your own food allows you to use what is in season, adapt it to your family’s tastes (avoiding waste!) and is a great way to celebrate and involve the whole family.

Making things vegan reduces your carbon footprint and often only involves substituting vegetable oil (or Pure margarine) for butter, and egg-replacer for egg. Cakes don’t seem to need eggs at all – see the vegan cakes below.
