Pasta with greens, chilli and garlic
The Meat Eater gave me a copy of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s ‘River Cottage Veg Every Day!’ cookbook for Christmas and tonight I gave one of the recipes a try. It’s a great book, packed full of tempting recipes and gorgeous colour photos. After a week of wine- and cheese-based indulgence, IContinue Reading
Cook Vegetarian Magazine
Cook Vegetarian Magazine contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I wanted to be part of a feature about vegetarian Christmases. Yes please, I’d be delighted, I said. And so here I am, in the January issue, out now.Continue Reading
Higher Nature Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
A few weeks ago, I had a sore throat that lasted for a week. One of those sore throats that hurt all day and all night and don’t ease off, no matter how many throat sweets you eat or hot drinks you drink. There were a couple of benefits toContinue Reading
Cauliflower cheese and potato pie
This is simply cauliflower cheese with mashed potato and cheese on top, then baked in the oven. I used the BBC Good Food Cauliflower Cheese recipe (halved to serve 3), forked some mashed potato that we had leftover from the night before on top of it, covered it in gratedContinue Reading
Leek and mushroom stuffed peppers
I made this last week but didn’t take a photo, which I should have done, because it was bare noms (that means ‘very nice’ in young person speak [don’t worry, that will be the last time I use that phrase, honest]). Today I made it again and did take aContinue Reading
Pizza Hut Pizza
After last Tuesday’s disastrous attempt (see yesterday’s blog post) at ordering online from either Pizza Hut or Domino’s, we decided to give Pizza Hut another go today, with me ordering it earlier in the day for collection in the evening (my local Pizza Hut doesn’t do deliveries). Blimey, it wasContinue Reading
Domino’s Pizza
I got asked by vouchercodes.co.uk if I would like to review pizzas from Domino’s and Pizza Hut for them. Being a pizza lover, it didn’t take me long to click on the send button with a kind of ‘oh go on then, twist my arm…’ (e.g. ‘Yes please, I would loveContinue Reading
Cauliflower and butter bean soup
I invented a game on Twitter a few months ago called Guess the Soup. It’s very easy to play. All you have to do is, um, guess the soup I’m making that day (or the soup someone else is making). Today, Cassie started a new round of Guess the Soup.Continue Reading
Tideford Organics Soups
Tideford Organics aren’t a wholly vegetarian company, but out of their six varieties of soups, five are vegetarian and four are vegan. They also produce a range of vegetarian sauces, puddings and jellies. I tried five of their soups and they were all fresh and delicious (even the carrot andContinue Reading
A (sort of) recreation of a Googies Art Cafe, Folkestone, pizza
Two weeks ago, I ran the Folkestone Half Marathon (I might will blog about it later). Afterwards, seven of us went for lunch at Googies Art Café, a fantastic café bar in Folkestone’s Creative Quarter. Most of our group opted for burgers (which Googies do in a wrap, rather thanContinue Reading
