"Hospo" is anew one for me I'm obviously "behind the curve" on that oe, if that is even still "on trend" they say:
'FOR THE PLANET' VENTURE BRINGING YOU SEASONAL, REGIONAL PLANT BASED GOODIES IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
No animals were murdered for my meal. No baby chicks were grinded alive (no eggs), no baby cows were separated from their moms and killed (no dairy)
I am not getting paid to advertise these products but I just want you to see what I have and where I bought them, in case you are wondering where can you find this type of products. Maybe you can find different models in a store somewhere as well.
It only takes one tablespoon of soybeans, water and about 10-14 minutes to make 27 oz of soymilk (800 ml). For a creamier texture, you can use 2 or 3 tablespoons of soybeans. You can add other ingredients as well: cinnamon, vanilla, salt, agave syrup, turmeric powder etc.
(I do recommend to not fill it exactly to the line Boil but a bit under so it doesn’t spill, especially if you add more than one tablespoon of soybeans, oats etc)
This 5lb or 2.27 kg of soybeans will last me longtime!
By using a nut milk maker, I am not only having control of the ingredients that go into my milk but I also create less garbage, since I am buying less plastic bottles of nutmilk from the store. I only buy them when I travel and can’t have my nut milk maker so I reduce the amount of plastic bottles or boxes of nut milk from 60 a year to maximum 5.
With this nutmilk maker you can also make almond, cashew, walnut, hemp, flaxseed milk, boil water for a tea or make a smoothie. It has 5 modes that regulates the temperature from room temperature to boil point. It comes with a little booklet of recipes.
No newborn baby cow was separated from his mom to be killed or imprisoned in a dairy farm in order for me to have this milk.
Soy milk benefits:
“Brain Health
Soy milk is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are “healthy” fats that your body cannot form on its own. Omega-3 fatty acids are linked to a reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Soy milk is still being studied for its effect on these diseases, but soy in general is one of the best non-animal sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Improved Heart Health
Soy milk can also help support your cardiovascular system. Soy milk is an excellent source of potassium, whether or not it has been fortified. Potassium is deeply connected to maintaining lower blood pressure and a regular pulse. Furthermore, soy milk has been linked to lower cholesterol levels, especially in people who have high cholesterol.
Reduced Symptoms of Menopause
Soy milk contains isoflavones, which are a class of chemical known as “phytoestrogens.” These isoflavones react in the body like a weak form of estrogen. Because of that, studies have shown that consuming soy milk and other soy products might help reduce the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes.”

Are you afraid of soy? Japanese people have soy on a daily basis and they are slimmer and have less cases of cancer than people from US and the Western countries where cow’s milk is used instead.
But Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr Michael Klaper can tell you more about soy milk:

My fav cuisine for Day 25 Veganmofo.
From a couple nights ago.
A quinoa black bean burger on a bed of mixed greens, topped with Romesco sauce and micro greens... roasted Brussels sprouts on the side. 💜
Recipe Coming...Wow, Tom is so proud!
Here are the steps:
1. Prepare the quinoa. I use a 2:1 ratio- vegetable broth to grain - once the liquid boils, put in your quinoa, lower the flame and cover. When it starts to boil again, reduce the flame to a simmer. Don't forget to season your liquid with a little salt.
2. Prepare the squash- peel and chop one small butternut. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the top. Sprinkle pepper, salt, tarragon, parsley and garlic powder over the squash. Mix well (aka use your hands). Bake at 375 degrees 25-30 minutes. Tip, chop squash into equal sized pieces and don't crowd the roasting pan - you want an even roast.
3. Now for the polenta-- Mix 1 cup veggie broth with 1 cup soy creamer, 1/2 cup polenta, and a bay leaf. Put into a sauce pan over med flam and stir until it boils. Reduce to a simmer and add a little Earth Balance margarine and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf and add some Rice Parmesan, stir well and
place into an oiled baking dish. Chill 1 hour. Cut into desired shape and crisp up on on roasting pan with the squash in the oven..Flip once.
4. All hail for Kale! Baby kale is so delicious, no grooming required, just a good rinse! In fact, that will be all the water that you will need for steaming. Whisk a little dijon, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper together. Put 5-6 cups kale in a cooking pan over a med flame and add the dressing. Toss well and cover 3 minutes then it done!
Asemble!
Serves 2-4 with leftovers!
Soaking pasta in water with a bit of sea salt overnight seems a good idea. When the tomato sauce has been almost cooked, put the soaked pasta in the same pot, cook them for another few minutes, and it's done.
This organic pasta made out of whole spelt by Alce Nero tastes terrific.
It might have been better if I added beans or something, but the ingredients I used this time are, tomato, onion, garlic, turmeric, cacao, chili pepper, black pepper, sea salt, and pasta, with olive oil, oregano, and rosemary on top.
