The Boxing Clever Cookbook
A new cookbook, yay! I’d had my eye on The Boxing Clever Cookbook by Jacqui Jones & Joan Wilmot for a while and kept in my Amazon Wishlist and when I saw it was available for 1p, snapped it up. It’s designed to help you if you have an organic vegetableContinue Reading
Innocent Piri Piri Veg Pot
Innocent asked me if I wanted to try out their new veg pots and this morning a courier delivered to me a big box containing four to try, including their brand new Portuguese red pepper piri piri veg pot and a sneak preview of their Thai sweet chilli veg potContinue Reading
Cheese, onion and potato slice
This wasn’t healthy, low fat or low calorie, but it was quick and easy and I’ve just done Janathon, so I don’t care. It’s yet another recipe taken from the BBC Good Food website and I adapted it by using a 375g packet of ready rolled puff pastry and cuttingContinue Reading
Spicy cauliflower soup
I know it’s not really the done thing to blow your own trumpet, but I really do think I make the best soup in the world. I certainly make better soup than Tesco’s “3 tins of additive filled tins of flavoured water for £1.50”, and so after making this weeks soup,Continue Reading
Potato and spinach bake
While making tonight’s dinner, I sliced one finger on the mandolin while getting it out of the cupboard, poured boiling water on another finger and burnt my other hand on the oven. The food had better be worth all this pain, I thought. It was. You can see the recipeContinue Reading
Roasted stuffed aubergine with couscous and halloumi
This is an adaptation of the halloumi stuffed peppers dish I made a couple of weeks ago, simply using an aubergine instead of red peppers. It was nice and a good use for the aubergine that came in this week’s organic veg box, but I prefer the red pepper versionContinue Reading
Halloumi stuffed peppers
I’ve been a bad domestic goddess over the past couple of weeks. I’ve only cooked one meal from scratch; the rest of the time we’ve either eaten out or been living on pie and chips, takeaway pizza, ready-made tortellini with ready-made pasta sauce and garlic bread, although peas did makeContinue Reading
Goody Goody Stuff Sweets
Goody Good Stuff is an all-new natural gummy range of sweets (eight varieties; all vegetarian, four of which are vegan). They have developed a food technology which allows them to remove the gelatine from Gummy candies while still producing a deliciously smooth and clear consistency. This makes their product rangeContinue Reading
Linda McCartney’s Weekly Favourites
A few days ago I posted about Linda McCartney’s competition to find the UK’s tastiest meat-free dish. As most of the dishes on here are from recipes found either on websites or in my collection of vegetarian cookbooks, I didn’t think I had anything to enter. But going back throughContinue Reading
