We asked the team at Kinetic what new recipes they've tried or cooking resources they've found useful, and here's the list!
1) Advantgardevegan
Incredible vegan recipes every week by vegan chef Gaz Oakley.

3) Dalgona coffee
The Korean coffee drink taking the internet by storm, dalgona coffee is like a cappuccino turned on its head, with the frothy coffee on top and the milk underneath. It only requires three ingredients to make and you can have it hot or cold.
