Confession time: I’ve never had a taco. I’ve had a chimichanga, an enchilada, a tortilla, a burrito and a quesadilla, but I’ve never had a taco. So, when Old El Paso sent me some of their products, including their Smoky BBQ Stand ‘N’ Stuff Soft Taco Kit, I finally hadContinue Reading
This morning, I opened the freezer to get some frozen fruit to make myself a nice healthy smoothie. Then I saw the crumpets… but – get me and my steely resolve – I resisted them, telling myself I’d have the crumpets for lunch instead. I don’t know what happened but, insteadContinue Reading
I put off trying Foraging Fox Beetroot Ketchup when I first received it because I thought it might be like those concentrated beetroot drinks you get, which I don’t like (to put it mildly). However, I needn’t have worried because it doesn’t have a strong beetroot taste, despite it having aContinue Reading
Nosh (I’m guessing whoever named the company didn’t go to school at an east London comprehensive) asked me about my current diet, exercise regime and goals and suggested I try their energising ABC (alkalise, balance and cleanse) raw plan for three days. That sounded good to me, so I filledContinue Reading
If you’re vegetarian or vegan and have been to London, you’ve probably heard of Mildreds. In fact, even if you’re vegetarian or vegan but have never been to London, you’ve probably heard of Mildreds. But, just in case you haven’t heard of Mildreds, Mildreds is a popular vegetarian/vegan restaurant inContinue Reading
Review: The Part-Time Vegetarian by Nicola Graimes Nicola Graimes wrote one of my favourite vegetarian cookbooks – Veggienomics. This is definitely one of my ‘go to’ cookbooks and you can see some of the recipes I’ve tried from it here, here and (my favourite) here. In Nicola’s latest cookbook – TheContinue Reading
I got a bit carried away while I was making tonight’s dinner. Originally, I’d planned to cook a simple aubergine melt (mozzarella melted on top of half a roasted aubergine) to use up the mozzarella that was in the fridge but, while I was taking out the mozzarella, I saw theContinue Reading
I’m not one to value myself on the number of ‘likes’ a photo of food gets on Facebook but I must admit to being rather pleased when the photo of these vegan cheese and onion muffins received almost 1,000 likes on the What Fat Vegans Eat Facebook page. I’m aware some ofContinue Reading
I blogged about Violife vegan cheese a couple of years ago and, at the time, I was kind of, ‘Well, Violife’s okay, I suppose, but nothing special’. Since then, I’ve changed my mind and, while I’m not saying it’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten, it’s definitely the best vegan cheese I’veContinue Reading
Man, these are as good as regular cheese and onion crisps, but vegan and healthy! The only thing I dislike about these dehydrated spinach chips is that they take twenty-four hours to make but only approximately twenty-four seconds to eat. Still, that’ll teach me to forget that a large handful ofContinue Reading
