Hooray, at last I’ve managed to get hold of soups from Amy’s Kitchen. And what a tasty, wholesome looking range it is too. Most are suitable for vegans and all are suitable for vegetarians. I had the mushroom soup for lunch and it’s not as creamy as the soup byContinue Reading
Back in 1999, The Gate Vegetarian restaurant in Hammersmith was the second vegetarian restaurant I’d ever been to. I never went again, mostly because it was in Hammersmith and I lived over the other side of London, so when I heard they’d opened a branch in Islington, I was keenContinue Reading
Like everyone else in the world, when I was a kid, I thought a haggis was an animal and had visions of it scampering around in a field. Then I thought it was a sheep’s brain. Then I forgot to wonder what it was until now and I still don’tContinue Reading
Pinkie left a comment on a recent post to say Linda McCartney had stopped making their Fish Free King Prawns. I heard rumours on Twitter and Facebook but Linda McCartney didn’t deny or confirm these rumours. So, I emailed them and got this reply: “Thank you for your recent emailContinue Reading

Vivesoy is the leading soy drinks brand in Spain and now they’ve landed in the UK. I tried the vanilla flavour for breakfast in a banana smoothie this morning and it’s got a deliciously smooth, clean, fresh natural flavour. Vivesoy can be used hot or cold, comes in in chocolate,Continue Reading
I’ve made this a couple of times and I’ve obviously been in a hurry to eat it before photographing it, as it’s not on my blog already. I love cannelloni but gave up trying to stuff those tubes years ago and I find using fresh lasagne isn’t the same. ThisContinue Reading
Looking for a protein packed curry? Here’s one I made in the slow cooker. With almonds and cashews, I thought as well as being mega-healthy, it would be mega-calorific, but after logging the ingredients into myfitnesspal, it’s only 329 calories per portion, so not bad at all. The best bitContinue Reading
