Living Zero Waste in terms of your food might be as straight forward as having some simple meal plans and thinking ahead. It takes a little bit of thought but not only does it save your wallet but when you consider that the second biggest contributor to food waste of the household, altogether we can make a huge impact on global food waste! #dublinfoodcoop #kilmainham #zerowaste

These days it's never been easier to get dairy out of your diet - for health or environmental reasons. At the Co-op we stock a wide and every growing variety of dairy free alternatives to cow's milk. Drop in, have a look, try some out and find your new favourite. Top tip - coconut milk in your coffee is fab.u.lous. #dublinfoodcoop #kilmainham #dairyfree

Tofu has become a staple for many members and staff of the Co-op - butttt have you tried these vegan buffalo wings?! Delish! Would recommend for a movie night. Ingredients: 1/8 tsp Garlic, granulated 1 tbsp Parsley, fresh 1 lb Tofu, extra firm or super firm 1 Bleu cheese or ranch style dressing, Vegan 6 tbsp Cayenne pepper hot sauce, red 3 tbsp Vegan butter 1 Black pepper, freshly ground 6 tbsp Cornstarch 1/2 tsp Paprika 5/8 tsp Salt 2 tbsp Olive oil 1 cup Bread crumbs, panko style 1/4 cup Plant milk INSTRUCTIONS Preheat the oven to 425 ºF and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet. If using extra-firm tofu press out the extra water: Slice your tofu into 6 width-wise slabs and wrap in a lint-free towel or paper towel. Place some weights over the wrapped tofu, like a heavy cast iron skillet or books atop a baking sheet. Let drain for about 20-30 minutes before continuing. Cut your tofu into 18 'wings' or ~1/2

If using extra-firm tofu press out the extra water: Slice your tofu into 6 width-wise slabs and wrap in a lint-free towel or paper towel. Place some weights over the wrapped tofu, like a heavy cast iron skillet or books atop a baking sheet. Let drain for about 20-30 minutes before continuing. Cut your tofu into 18 'wings' or ~1/2" sticks. Cut the block of tofu into 6 slices width-wise if you haven't already for pressing, then slice each of those slabs into 3 slices lengthwise. Put the cornstarch in one bowl, the plant milk in a second bowl, and mix together the bread crumb mixture in a third bowl. Pour some of the bread crumb mixture onto a plate. Dip each tofu 'wing' into the starch, followed by the milk, then roll in the breadcrumbs on the plate. Place the wing onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 'wings.' Use one hand for the starch and bread crumbs and your other for the milk to keep breading from clumping on your fingers. Add more of the breadcrumb mixture to the plate as needed. Bake the prepared tofu at 425 ºF for 25 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 10-15 minutes until the tofu wings are nice and crispy. While they're baking, make the buffalo sauce. Melt the vegan butter and stir in the hot sauce, granulated garlic, and salt. Put the tofu wings in a large mixing bowl and toss with the buffalo sauce to coat. Serve

You know when you just want something but you don't know what it is? Not crisps, not chocolate (rare, but it happens) maybe healthy but also satisfying - we found the answer. Stuffed vine leaves are your winner! One of our staff (not to name and shame) even admitted to drinking the juice. #dublinfoodcoop #kilmainham #snackattack
