In this episode we talk a little bit about the use of plant milk and how easy it is to make your own oat milk.

We then go on to talk about a beautiful caramelised onion, shiitake mushroom and sweet potato congee as well as a satay seitan dish from an Asian cookbook we've just bought. Both recipes were really simple and quick to make, delicious, complex and incredibly satisfying.

Because we made the satay seitan, we then talk a little about our recipe of the week, seitan and how to make two different types:

1. A dark seitan, similar to lamb or beef
2. A light seitan, similar to chicken

Neither of us really like using meat to describe any dishes we eat, however in this case it's the easiest way to describe them!

We then have a quick chat about Japanese knives in our tip of the week, we talk about why having good knives is so important and what difference it makes.

Finally our ingredient of the week is Dr Greger's Spice mix - a really simple mix of herbs and spices which we keep as a store cupboard staple.
