What’s it all about?

It’s the end of footy season and the AFL Grand Final is around the corner, so it’s time to make a vegan friendly Aussie classic – the good ol’ meat pie!  You might be wondering how a meat pie can be made vegan, but no worries mate – Jenny will help you tackle the recipe and kick a delicious goal.

And because she can’t help but finish with something sweet, she wanted to also share her recipe for chocolate mousse – but one without any sugar, avocado or eggs!  Amazing!

What will we cover?

This is a cooking demonstration and you are invited to cook-along at home. You’ll be able to follow Jenny step by step to make the scrumptious mousse and yummy pies.  While her super powers are many she might not be able to help you with your signature pie saucing technique or pick the Grand Final winner.

What will you need?

Jenny prefers organic ingredients but that’s a personal choice.
