Review: Diablo Toasted Snack Maker
Everyone likes toasted sandwiches but no one likes cleaning the toasted sandwich maker afterwards, so Aerolatte Ltd invented the Diablo toasted snack maker. Unlike a traditional sandwich maker, you heat the Diablo on the hob so, as it says on the box – no plugs, no mess, no problem. When IContinue Reading
Review: Old El Paso Stand ‘N’ Stuff Soft Taco Kit
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
Travelling as a Vegetarian
I’m by no means a seasoned traveller. I’ve only ventured out of the UK about ten times, and most of those were to Amsterdam (and in case you’re wondering, I’m neither a prostitute nor a dopehead – I just love it there.) Although I’ve never starved abroad, I can’t say I’ve been spoiltContinue Reading
Recipe: Spinach and Tomato Soup
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

Review: Foraging Fox Beetroot Ketchup
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
Review: Nosh ABC Diet – Day 1
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
Recipe: Battered Halloumi
I love halloumi. I love the saltiness, the squeakiness and the oh-my-god-it’s-just-so-fucking-delicious-ness of it. In the fridge languished half a block that needed to be used up and instead of stuffing it in the portobella mushrooms that are also languishing in the fridge needing to be used up, I decidedContinue Reading
Recipe: Sweet Potato, Chickpea & Coconut Curry
I mentioned last week my energy levels had slumped, so I googled to see which foods were good for energy. Among those mentioned were: Sweet potatoes Sweet potatoes contain Vitamin D and, as we all know, at this time of year when summer’s coming to an end and there’s aContinue Reading
