When I bought the Jus-Rol Puff Pastry last weekend, I also picked up a pack of Jus-Rol Pain au Chocolat. I hadn’t made them until now as, for some reason, I didn’t know you had to assemble them yourself. I have no idea how I thought Jus-Rol fitted 6 pastriesContinue Reading
Jus-Rol sent me a recipe book last week. On flicking through it, a few recipes looked inviting (they’re all accompanied by colour photos) and this recipe for Cheesy Pea Faces looked especially fun (it’s actually called Kids’ Cheesy Pea Faces but – at 44 – I can’t really call myselfContinue Reading
Since recently discovering cheese-topped baps in Tesco, they’d become my lunch, filled with Violife vegan cheese slices, vegan mayo and salad (yes, I know there’s not really much point putting vegan cheese and vegan mayo into dairy cheese-topped baps but I’ve still got loads of Violife cheese slices to useContinue Reading
I always seem to want to cook something on a Sunday and today was no exception. Today I fancied something involving raw chocolate and found a raw vegan brownie recipe. These raw vegan brownies are delicious. They only take a few minutes to make too – it took far longerContinue Reading

Some things just don’t quite go to plan. Like last night’s dinner, for example. I had planned to have pie, roast potatoes, green beans and gravy but on investigating the freezer, found there was only one pie. So, Plan B was Quorn sausages and roast potatoes but on investigating theContinue Reading
These muffins are adapted from a recipe in Anita Bean’s Food for Fitness. Anita says these muffins are ‘the perfect refuelling snack that no athlete should be without’. She doesn’t say why they came out with little noses though. Still, ignoring the little noses and ignoring they don’t look anythingContinue Reading
