+ Tempeh is a soy product similar to tofu. It is made from whole, fermented soy beans pressed into blocks, and has a meaty texture and nutty flavour. It’s a good source of protein, and is available in the refrigerated section of supermarkets and health food stores.

++ You can find almond spread in the health food aisle of the supermarket.
