Veet Karen The Vegan Cooking and Nutrition Podcast

Eating the rainbow is not about collecting colours on your plate. It's a simple way of increasing the variety of vitamins, minerals, fibre and phytochemicals in your diet. The colours matter because different pigments often come with different health benefits, but colour alone doesn't guarantee complete nutrition.

There is so much misinformation on the Interweb that leaves most people with no idea what oil is best to use in cooking. This podcast episode is about taking the confusion out of oils. One of the biggest bits misleading nutritional information that I have seen in my time is how good coconut oil is for you. Take a listen and get informed about what oils are best to have in your kitchen. If you don’t eat any oils then you do still want to be eating foods that contain fat and this is why ……

In this podcast I am talking all things oils and taking the 'mis' out of misinformation on what oil to have in the kitchen.
 
Why our body needs lipids
The different types of fats and their chemical structure 
What fats you can cook with and why 
What fats you can not cook with and why
Confusion about what oils to cook with 
Why seed oils have been given a bad rap and why people think you can’t cook with olive oil

Last week I held a free online class and we all made a delectable snickers bar recipe which you can still catch the recording for, at time of recording this podcast, but I made a big boo boo, which caused a stir over on Instagram.
This has prompted me make a public apology and to talk about appropriate kitchen terms and also talk about some fun witchy ingredients that we use in the kitchen, quite often in fact.
In this podcast I talk about: 
How I unintentionally used a racist term in the title of my recipe 
Look at terms used in the kitchen that have changed names 
Look at some Australian ingredients and introduce you to their indigenous names 
Explore some witchy ingredients 
And share a fabulous recipe and fun cooking tip.
