In Nature Slim Lotus Tea
In Nature sent me some of their slim lotus tea to try. It comes in a beautiful box. And on the back of the beautiful box it says Lotus Teas may assist: Slimming Detoxify Cancer prevention Heart condition Anti-oxidant Anti-bactieral Constipation and I am deeply dubious about claims made onContinue Reading
Dalepak Cauliflower Cheese Grills
Years ago, before I was vegetarian, I used to eat cauliflower cheese grills. I have no idea if they were Dalepak but I used to eat them because the only meat I could afford was economy burgers and they were the vile scrapings from the abattoir floor. So I usedContinue Reading
Quorn Korma
This was so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I was worried while I was making it because I’d never made a korma before and the recipe called for coconut milk but all I had in the cupboard were sachets of coconut cream and so I asked Twitter for adviceContinue Reading
Will write for cheese
I’ve been a hussy by cheating on my beloved blog and went and guest blogged over at Yamas! They asked me so nicely you see, and even offered to send me cheese and I couldn’t say no to free cheese, could I? I blogged about dining out as a vegetarianContinue Reading
Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauces
Jack Daniel’s is no longer found only in the alcohol aisle, now they’ve started making barbecue sauces and glazes. Eager to try them out and to make the most of the remains of summer, I used three of them on some barbecued food. Although I used them as a marinade,Continue Reading
Dalepak Spicy Bean Quarter Pounders
It was 1992 when I first became vegetarian. In the beginning, I shied away from the ‘meaty’ vegetarian burgers as I was one of those people who thought ‘if you’re vegetarian, why eat something that’s pretending to be meat?’ So, before I learnt to cook, I bought vegetable burgers thatContinue Reading
Cashew-leek burgers with bulgur and lentils
I should have learnt my lesson last week when making burgers that they’re a bit of a faff. These took almost two hours to make (although the recipe says one hour – I’m a slow cook) and I really did think I’d spent two hours making something that was goingContinue Reading
Quorn Lasagne
I seem to be going through a pasta and pizza phase at the moment. We had spaghetti on Friday, chilled supermarket pizza on Saturday, Papa John’s delivery pizza on Sunday, pasta bake on Monday and lasagne tonight. Tonight’s lasagne was from the Quorn Kitchen cookbook. It contains pesto and TheContinue Reading
Dalepak Cheese & Onion Crispbakes
Dalepak’s Cheese & Onion Crispbakes are a combination of potato, onion, Red Leicester cheese and medium fat soft cheese, lightly seasoned and coated in a crisp golden breadcrumb. After trying the Dalepak Mushroom Crispbakes last week, I was worried these would be too soft for my taste and although, yes,Continue Reading
Gratin of rigatoni with roasted vegetables
The Meat Eater usually cooks on a Sunday. I say ‘cook’, he usually heats something up, unless he’s making a roast (unfortunately, although he makes a fantastic roast dinner, he refuses to make one in the warmer months) but this Bank Holiday weekend, I was treated to a proper homecookedContinue Reading
