One ingredient, multiple recipes

Hello plant based foodies, wherever you are in the world and the galaxy! Here @sirenahippie

For several months, perhaps years, we've been emphasizing the need for Hive blogs to be high-quality and feature varied recipes (if you publish food-related content). Over time, we've published articles explaining the importance of excellence and diverse recipes. We've also explained why repetition is detrimental to these blogs. The articles that address this topic are as follows:

From personal experience and common sense, we know that obtaining ingredients for recipes in general, and for vegan recipes in particular, can be very difficult, especially in some countries. Whether due to economic, climatic, supply, or other factors, we know that we can't always prepare the recipes we'd like to share.

But we also know that, with a little interest, the desire to do something good, using creativity and ingenuity, and enhanced by learning and research, good and varied recipes (vegan or not) can be created; that is why below we want to present some ideas that may be useful for this purpose:

• Choose a fruit, vegetable, or grain that's in season in your area. This way, you can get it at a good price, fresh, and in abundance. For example, it's currently autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and it's pumpkin season. You can buy them very cheaply, they're incredibly fresh, you can find varieties that aren't available at other times of the year, and they're sold in many places. If you have a garden, you can even harvest and cook them.

• Research recipes on social media, online cookbooks, or printed cookbooks, looking for recipes where the main ingredient is your chosen one. Save the ones you like best.

• You can talk to your family or people in your area and research dishes from your country or region—perhaps forgotten dishes—that use that ingredient. This has added value because you're rescuing your culture.

• If you find a non-vegan recipe, it may be possible to veganize it, so don't let that stop you from making it.

• Try alternating between sweet and savory recipes, and also make drinks. This will add more variety to your blog.

• Experiment with different cooking, cutting, and processing techniques for the ingredient. Baking is not the same as roasting, boiling, frying, stewing, smoke or fermenting; it all depends on the recipe you're making and your ingenuity. This will give you a wider range of dishes to choose from.

• Research recipes from other countries that use your chosen ingredient. You're sure to find amazing dishes and learn about other cultures.
