Since finding out a few weeks ago that tofu is transformed if you press it to get all the water out, I’ve been keen to make it again. I also wanted to cover it in panko breadcrumbs again because everything’s improved when you cover it in breadcrumbs, isn’t it? Well,Continue Reading
I made these mini cheesecakes after spotting the recipe while browsing the Minimalist Baker blog. I ate the first one straight from the freezer and while it was okay, it wasn’t amazing. So, today, after taking one out of the freezer, I let it defrost and soften before eating itContinue Reading
I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve never been able to make hummus as nice as the ones in the supermarket. Until now, that is. I was browsing the Minimalist Baker website yesterday and stumbled across their microwave hummus recipe. They reckoned it was the best ever hummusContinue Reading
I wanted to make some seitan yesterday but couldn’t muster up the motivation to do all that kneading and stuff. So, I wondered if I could just bung all the ingredients in the bread machine and let that do all the work for me instead. And, guess what – itContinue Reading

Just reading the ingredients for this juice makes you feel healthier before you’ve even tasted it. Because it has so many vegetables in it, I was worried it would taste a bit ‘green’ (despite it being red in colour) but I needn’t have worried, it was just as fruity asContinue Reading
Because someone – okay, I – forgot to add the spinach to the Quorn curry I cooked last night, I had a bag of spinach in the fridge, going to waste. In my defence though, it was a slow-cooked curry and by the time its eight hours were up, I’dContinue Reading
I thought I could remember when Vimto first burst into the playground, but apparently it was invented in 1908 and I’m not quite *that* old. Still, as my dad worked for Coca Cola, it was the law in our house to only drink that and I still feel I’m betrayingContinue Reading
