We almost never use oil in our recipes — and that’s intentional. While it’s often seen as a health food, oil is actually a highly processed product, stripped of fibre and most of its nutrients. It offers little beyond concentrated calories and can contribute to inflammation, impaired blood vessel function, and blood sugar spikes — especially when consumed regularly.
Instead, we focus on whole-food sources of healthy fats like nuts, seeds, avocado, and tahini, which come packaged with fibre, vitamins, minerals, and protective plant compounds. This approach supports better digestion, more stable energy, and long-term health without compromising on taste or texture.
This category makes it easy to find oil-free recipes — from creamy hummus and bold salad dressings to nourishing mains and satisfying snacks. If you’re aiming to reduce processed foods or follow a whole-food, plant-based approach, you’ll find plenty here to keep your meals delicious, satisfying, and deeply nourishing.
