When my running’s going well and I’m feeling fit and healthy, that’s when I usually reach for Anita Bean’s Food for Fitness book that has a load of delicious, healthy recipes (not all vegetarian but plenty that are) that are quick and easy to make. Tonight’s was no exception. SpicyContinue Reading
This must be the first cookbook of its kind. At least, I’ve never heard of anything or seen anything like it before. The Complete Guide to Vegan Food Substitutions is a new cookbook by Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman, authors of 500 Vegan Recipes. At 272 pages, it containsContinue Reading
The Blue Anchor in Ruckinge (update 2015: it’s currently shut) does fantastic food and last week we went there for lunch to celebrate The Meat Eater’s 40th birthday with his parents. I’d been there before and know how big the portions are: more than enough for two people and someContinue Reading

This wasn’t healthy, low fat or low calorie, but it was quick and easy and I’ve just done Janathon, so I don’t care. It’s yet another recipe taken from the BBC Good Food website and I adapted it by using a 375g packet of ready rolled puff pastry and cuttingContinue Reading
I know it’s not really the done thing to blow your own trumpet, but I really do think I make the best soup in the world. I certainly make better soup than Tesco’s “3 tins of additive filled tins of flavoured water for £1.50”, and so after making this weeks soup,Continue Reading
