Another recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Veg Everyday! cookbook. One thing I’ve noticed about this cookbook is that it has no approximate cooking or preparation times in it (not that I ever take any notice of the preparation times; I’m so slow, I take about four times as long as it states). This is annoying as [...]

The Meat Eater gave me a copy of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s ‘River Cottage Veg Every Day!’ cookbook for Christmas and tonight I gave one of the recipes a try. It’s a great book, packed full of tempting recipes and gorgeous colour photos. After a week of wine- and cheese-based indulgence, I only wanted something light, so [...]

This is simply cauliflower cheese with mashed potato and cheese on top, then baked in the oven. I used the BBC Good Food Cauliflower Cheese recipe (halved to serve 3), forked some mashed potato that we had leftover from the night before on top of it, covered it in grated cheese and baked in the [...]

I made this last week but didn’t take a photo, which I should have done, because it was bare noms (that means ‘very nice’ in young person speak [don't worry, that will be the last time I use that phrase, honest]). Today I made it again and did take a photo, and you’ll have to [...]

I invented a game on Twitter a few months ago called Guess the Soup. It’s very easy to play. All you have to do is, um, guess the soup I’m making that day (or the soup someone else is making). Today, Cassie started a new round of Guess the Soup. After I guessed incorrectly with [...]

Tideford Organics aren’t a wholly vegetarian company, but out of their six varieties of soups, five are vegetarian and four are vegan. They also produce a range of vegetarian sauces, puddings and jellies. I tried five of their soups and they were all fresh and delicious (even the carrot and coriander one, which isn’t a [...]

Two weeks ago, I ran the Folkestone Half Marathon (I might will blog about it later). Afterwards, seven of us went for lunch at Googies Art Café, a fantastic café bar in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter. Most of our group opted for burgers (which Googies do in a wrap, rather than a bun) but as I’d [...]

I thought this was a bit bland, didn’t really taste of much and could be improved by adding cheese (then again, I think everything can be improved by adding cheese). The Meat Eater thought it was really nice and subtle and didn’t need anything else. Then again, he has tastebuds and can taste everything, whereas [...]

Quorn have a new fish range out. In the past, I’ve eaten Redwood’s Fish Style Fingers quite a few times. The first time I tried them, I was immediately transported back to being 14 years old and getting home from school; they were – as far as I could remember – just like the real [...]

After last week’s spicy enchiladas, I had some meatfree mince to use up, so had a looked through the Quorn Kitchen cookbook and decided on these. I thought they’d be like the enchiladas, but in a lasagne-style, rather than rolled up. It was nice, but not as nice as the enchiladas. The Meat Eater said [...]
