Jason Vale’s 3 day detox – Conclusion
I thought I’d feel something going three days without proper food. But, nothing, or at least not much, anyway. No tiredness, no energy loss, no hunger (except when it was getting up to dinnertime, but who doesn’t?), no headaches, no stomach upsets and no more grumpiness than usual. I didn’tContinue Reading

I get up really late. This could be because a) I went to bed late; b) my body’s taking subconscious advantage of the fact that it’s the first time in five months I haven’t had to get up to go to work; c) girls’ things; or d) all of theContinue Reading
Jason Vale’s 3 day detox – Day two
I wake up reasonably early and get up to see if I faint with hunger. I don’t. In fact, I’m still full from last night’s dinner of avocado and spinach juice. I have my lemon with hot water, then make the Super Detox Smoothie, which I’ve been looking forward to,Continue Reading

Potato and cabbage gratin
Today’s veg box arrived containing a cabbage and potatoes. Luckily enough, Leith’s Vegetarian Bible had a recipe containing both cabbage and potatoes and as it involved cooking it in garlic, double cream and cheese I thought that sounded like a winner. And it was, as The Meat Eater declared itContinue Reading
Oven-baked courgette frittata
I recently reinstated my veg box delivery but opting for Abel & Cole for a change, instead of Riverford. Not that I had any problems with Riverford; I thought they were great, but the fact that you can skip any fruit or veg you don’t want appealed to me, asContinue Reading
Righteous All Natural Salad Dressings

More Quorn for dinner tonight. Blimey, anyone would think I got sent some free samples or something. Still, I don’t really need an excuse to eat noodles. Especially chilli ones. And these Quorn Chilli Stir Fry Strips are already marinated so you don’t need to add any spices of yourContinue Reading
