The Wicked Good Vegan

Wondering how to make vegan beef jerky? Fear not! This fool-proof recipe relies on shiitake mushrooms for a chewy bite and toothsome texture. NH-hunter-approved, apparently.

Garam masala is the essential Indian spice. It adds a subtle, round, earthy note to any dish. Homemade garam masala really can’t be beat. It’s also super easy—just grab the ingredients, heat them, and grind them to a powder!

So ginger is is the same boat as garlic as far as seeming complicated to mince and guilting people into paying way too much at the store for a small jar of minced, preserved, sort of sketchy mush. Did you know that it’s actually super easy to pick up a little gnarled root buddy, take him home, and prepare him yourself!? It’s also extra fun to do this, since you get to pick through the ginger bin to find the most perfectly sized piece of ginger for what you need, just like it was meant to be…

Are you guilty of spooning out a few teaspoons of ‘minced garlic’ from a small jar in your fridge door? Never fear, WGV Do It Yourself is here! I’m going to show you how painless (and entertaining) mincing your own garlic can be, and why you should ditch that overpriced jar for a cutting board and knife!
