Vegetarian and vegan recipes, cookbook reviews and the occasional competition
I’ve been drinking soya milk for years, after giving up moo juice. Never having been brave enough to try anything other than soya milk, I was pleased when I was asked if I’d like to review Provamel’s new almond milk and oat milk. Not being a fan of marzipan, I wasn’t in any rush to [...]
Before going to the supermarket, I’d asked The Meat Eater if he needed anything. He asked for crisps. He usually buys the same McCoys multipack each week and so I thought, hurrah, I can force him to be carefree and adventurous and I’ll get him some Monster Munch or Square Crisps or Discos or something. But then [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

What the discount actually is will be completely in your hands: the more people that tweet, the cheaper you eat. As the number of people who tweet #tweetandeat increases, the discounts will too – whether its veg pots for [...]
I held a competition a couple of weeks ago, giving a reader the chance to win a copy of Vegan Cookbook: The Essential Guide . The winner – picked by an online random number generator – is Emzy Lemezma. Well done Emzy!
The man who sent me the ‘beyond minging’ artichoke tea (I’m not entirely sure that phrase will be going out in their future marketing materials but it certainly should be their slogan), also sent me a box of Natur Boutique Lotus Green Tea, which is said to aid relaxation. After almost gagging on trying the [...]
I got sent some Natur Boutique Artichoke Tea to try. It was beyond minging. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I wasn’t expecting a mouth full of artichoke flavoured hot water. I poured it down the sink and made myself a nice mug of hot chocolate instead. If anyone ever offers you a [...]
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 [...]
