Agave nectar (also called agave syrup) is a sugar alternative made from the sap of the agave plant. It’s sweeter than sugar so you need less of it, and it has a lower glycaemic index to give you slow-release energy.
For vegan cooking you can use Agave nectar in place of honey (simmer to thicken to the same consistency).
Tempeh is a versatile meat-free ingredient made from fermented soybeans. It can be fried, steamed, stir-fried or baked. It’s available from some health food shops and online, but if you can’t get your hands on it, use firm tofu instead – just be careful not to overcook it and handle it gently.
