Hi Peta, Butter Buds are butter-flavoured granules that give that buttery taste without all of the extra calories they are available through Amazon or Lakeland. Hope that helps!

Hi, I’m really keen to try this dish it looks fabulous! (Love your website by the way, recently tried your banana bread and it was amazing). I’m really not a big fan of kale, do you think it would work with cabbage instead? Or is there anything else you would suggest? Thanks!
