Making my own

If you are like us and you try to avoid mass-produced processed foods, the best option is to make your own. When you make your own, you get to control which ingredients you use and how much or how sweet you want it to be. Once you have a go at making your own and you realise how easy it is, you will never go back to store-bought again.

A nut-free option

I have never had the pleasure of eating satay sauce; that pesky nut and peanut allergy does get in the way, but rather than miss out, I decided to come up with a nut-free option that was easy to make and would be a great alternative to any store bought sauce.
