Linda McCartney Fish-Free King Prawns
I’d heard about the new Linda McCartney Fish-Free King Prawns in their range of vegetarian and vegan food and was dying to try them out as I used to love prawns. I wasn’t expecting much though as I’d tried the (now discontinued) Redwood Scampi-Style Pieces which had the texture ofContinue Reading
New Covent Garden Soup of the Month: Halloween theme
I love soup, I love monthly themes and I love gruesomeness, so The New Covent Garden Soup Co’s Halloween theme is right up my street. They want us to submit our spooky soup recipes and, if we’re lucky, it’ll be picked to be sold during October. Recipes submitted so farContinue Reading
Frozen green pea soup
As I said the other day, I am now a pea soup convert, so today I decided to make my own for lunch. I adapted this recipe from the BBC Good Food site. Their recipe includes mint, which I don’t like, so I left that out. I also swapped springContinue Reading
Good Hemp Oil – Special Edition
Hemp oil is an alternative to olive oil. The packaging for this Good Hemp Oil is certainly an alternative to those boring plastic bottles you usually get and 30,000 special edition bottles will be available in stores from 1 May. The bottle is beautiful, it’s a shame it’ll be hiddenContinue Reading
Really Interesting Food Co: Spanish Chickpea Casserole

Free & Easy Organic Green Pea Soup
Pea soup. Sounds disgusting, doesn’t it? It does to me, anyway. Still, it was free, so I thought I’d give it a go. I opened the tin and had a sniff. It smelt like peas. I suppose it would really, but I wasn’t expecting it to. I heated it upContinue Reading

Creamy Tarragon Quorn Fillet Bake
Do you ever look at those Quorn Fillets in the freezer section, then not buy them because you don’t know what to do with them? Me too. Then I decided to have a go at adapting meat-based recipes and came across this Creamy Tarragon Chicken Bake on the BBC GoodContinue Reading
Asparagus, tomato and feta frittata
Last night’s dinner was a disaster and ended up in the bin. It was a tofu stir-fry with some ready made sauce. I don’t know how Cauldron have managed it, but they’ve made their tofu even more soggy than it used to be and there was no way I couldContinue Reading
