1. Easy Borscht
Enjoy this plant-based Easy Borscht recipe by Zuzana Fajkusova and Nikki Lefler that is a twist on traditional borscht!
2. Potato Pancakes
These tasty Potato Pancakes by Olivia Andrews are inspired by Korean potato pancakes, which usually use potato starch, giving them a nice chewy, gelatinous texture. If you’re not so fond of the texture, you can use cornflour instead of potato starch, which is more widely available. I find equal parts of each is a happy medium.
