Quorn fillets with mushroom sauce
I love sauces. As far as I’m concerned, when it comes to food, the wetter the better. Who can be bothered to make a sauce from scratch all the time though? That’s when packet sauces come in handy – just buy a few when you’re at the supermarket, bung themContinue Reading
Warburtons Winter Fruit Loaf
‘You won’t like it, it’s got cinnamon and nutmeg in it’, I said to The Meat Eater when he spotted the Warburtons Winter Fruit Loaf on the table. ‘All the more for me, yay’, I thought. He gave it a sniff and said it smelt delicious, like hot cross buns,Continue Reading
Saganaki cheese and spinach stuffed mushrooms
Yamas! sent me some some of their Saganaki cheese to try. Have you heard of Saganaki cheese before? No, neither had I. According to the packet you fry it in a dry pan for 30 seconds each side and it’ll turn brown. Well, when I tried it, it didn’t turnContinue Reading
Cabbage, rice, chilli and cheese soup
Ok, confession time. I was so hungry when I got back from the gym and craving something healthy, I didn’t think this through. The recipe below is not how I made this soup. It didn’t occur to me that, by bunging everything in the pan together at the beginning, itContinue Reading
Deli Fry’s Morcilla Style Vegan Sausage
I’d never heard of a Morcilla sausage and on looking at the Deli Fry’s website, it says it’s an alternative to the traditional Spanish black pudding. I’ve never had a black pudding – Spanish, or otherwise – so I’ll just have to take their word for that. What I canContinue Reading
The Great British Garlic Challenge
I tried to grow garlic once by bunging a bulb in a pot and leaving it to see what happened. Funnily enough, nothing happened except it went a bit manky. So when I heard about The Great British Garlic Challenge, I thought I’d have a go at growing garlicContinue Reading
Autumnal squash, butterbean and mushroom cobbler
Anjum Anand has a new cookbook out – Vegetarian Indian Feast. I’d been looking forward to trying out some recipes from this book and what better week to try one out than National Curry Week? Anjum’s autumnal squash, butterbean and mushroom cobbler probably isn’t what you’d first think of whenContinue Reading
National Curry Week: Quorn Thai Masaman Curry
I went to a new local Thai restaurant for the second time a few weeks ago. The first time I went, the waiter wasn’t familiar with the menu, looking confused when I asked him if a dish was vegetarian. His response was to point at the menu and say ‘youContinue Reading
Getting Nakd on a Monday Night
‘Fruit juice, water or Prosecco?’ Prosecco? Did she just say Prosecco? I’m at a Nãkd Wholefoods launch and I wasn’t expecting any alcohol. I’m not sure she actually did offer me Prosecco, so I play it safe and ask for a cherry juice. Then someone walks in and gets pouredContinue Reading
Pasta with roast vegetables and tomato sauce
I’ve been eating a lot of food out of packets recently, so tonight I decided to have something healthy. There’s a farm shop local to me that sells seasonal vegetables, so I scooted down there to see what they had and made a super-healthy dish that probably contained at leastContinue Reading
