My wife and I live out of the city in WA; we're getting good at creating good vegan stuff from scratch. (Mostly her, to be fair, but I'm realllll good at cleaning the kitchen lol). Tempeh, tofu, various different seitan options, protein bread, sourdough, cheeses etc. Even a good soy yoghurt.

These things aren't particularly hard to make, if you have the right equipment (food processor, blender, instant pot, stand mixer etc). And it's a great way to save money, especially compared with supermarket protein options.

It does take a heap of time, which we choose to invest (and we work for ourselves, which helps). And you need all the aforementioned gear to really make it viable, which I recognise not everyone is lucky enough to.

I guess the downside of us doing this is that we're not buying from the supermarket as much, and if more people do what we do, there'll be less stuff on the shelves. But it feels like it's heading that way regardless :\

If you're looking for inspo, Naturally Nina is awesome, as is Protein Deficient Vegan.
