Bibijis Tikka Masala
I’m not a fan of packaged food, preferring to display to The Meat Eater my domestic goddess prowess by cooking from scratch but tonight I showed him my packet opening prowess instead. And I’m definitely not a fan of sauces that state they’re suitable for vegetarians and then tell youContinue Reading
Spicy bean enchiladas
After last week’s Italian themed meals of lasagne, pizza and pasta, this week I decide to be healthy and make meals that weren’t covered in cheese. That was the plan, anyway. What actually happened was that I made healthy bean-based meals and then covered them in cheese. Last night’s bean-based-cheese-coveredContinue Reading

Fiona Oakes: Vegan, marathon runner, superwoman
You’ve probably heard of Fiona Oakes. She’s the founder of the Tower Hills Animal Sanctuary, where she cares for over 400 animals without making a single penny for herself (in fact, every month the feed bill exceeds donations by £2,200). And as if that wasn’t enough, in her “spare” timeContinue Reading
Leek and potato soup (vegan)
I saw lambs today. Titchy, tiny ones. They were very cute. That has absolutely nothing to do with this blog but I just thought I’d mention it. So, after seeing lambs (titchy, tiny ones) I escaped the countryside (nasty thing the countryside, completely pointless, whoever invented it needs taking outsideContinue Reading
