Although I am neither fat nor vegan, I love the What Fat Vegans Eat Facebook page. As the name suggests, its 14,000+ members post photos of their food – from gourmet to grub – and it all looks absolutely gorgeous. A couple of weeks ago, Rich – who is oneContinue Reading
One of the best things about a bread machine is the timer. Put all the ingredients in the bread machine tin in the evening, set the timer, press start and in the morning, you’ll wake up to a gorgeous aroma instead waking up to the stink of kitty puke. It’sContinue Reading
Cheese on top of a stew? Weird. But this is a Mexican-inspired stew and Mexicans put cheese on top of everything, don’t they? Mexican restaurants do anyway which, apart from the silly moustaches which I believe are compulsory to grow, would be a good reason to move to Mexico. If,Continue Reading
I much prefer my cookbooks to be paper-based (as opposed to paperbacks which now I much prefer to be Kindle-based), but when I saw The Skinny Slow Cooker Vegetarian Recipe Book on Amazon for 99p, I thought I’d give it a go. It’s great. I made this curry last nightContinue Reading
I thought this soup might be a bit adventurous for lunchtime – my lunches are usually plain and simple (if you don’t take into account the pizza flavoured tofu in pitta bread I had yesterday), but I needn’t have worried; this soup was lovely. It’s silky smooth, with a subtleContinue Reading
In Wholefoods the other day, I bought a Raw Chocolate Chilli Pie. It was delicious and inspired me to make my own. I didn’t have all the ingredients listed on the label so I had a look for a raw chilli chocolate recipe using cacao powder and coconut oil andContinue Reading
This is the nicest soup I’ve made for ages and more than makes up for the disastrous soup I made last week. Of course, it could be because it’s got chilli in it; chilli improves everything (except avocado. Nothing could improve that. Bleurgh). The recipe is taken from the BBCContinue Reading
The other day, I made a soup so disgusting I had to throw it away. It was a dal soup from a Rose Elliot cookbook and the recipe called for water, not stock, and this made me dubious. But, you know, it’s Rose Elliot; I thought, ‘it’s okay, Rose knowsContinue Reading
I should have waited a few hours before making this bread, then I could have put it on the timer to have the smell of fresh cheesy bread throughout the house when I woke up. But, I didn’t wait. I didn’t even get to eat it fresh and warm straightContinue Reading
This recipe is another taken from the Jus Rol 30 Best Loved Recipes book. As a lazy cook, this was too time-consuming for me. If you’re also a lazy cook, you’d be better off getting your maid/cook/housekeeper (we all have those, right?) to peel and slice the apples. I hadContinue Reading
