I made something healthy, hurrah! Okay, so I served it with a most definitely unhealthy homemade vegan garlic bread but the thought was there. This vegan aubergine and chickpea penne is a dish I’ve made before but I’m going to post it again because it’s Veganuary and, as you mightContinue Reading
I mentioned last week my energy levels had slumped, so I googled to see which foods were good for energy. Among those mentioned were: Sweet potatoes Sweet potatoes contain Vitamin D and, as we all know, at this time of year when summer’s coming to an end and there’s aContinue Reading
Ever since I picked up a copy of Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Googled to see what other people made from it, these chickpea cutlets came up time and time again. I’m not sure why I haven’t made them before now – the only reason I can think ofContinue Reading
I’ve been experimenting again with dips and spreads. I had half a tin of kidney beans and half a tin of chickpeas in the freezer so I blitzed them up with some Greek yoghurt and curry powder and the result was this gorgeous spread that’s perfect to have on oatcakesContinue Reading
Like yesterday, I skipped breakfast but not for long, as I had the granola (196 cals) with some soya milk after my run. If you’ve ever weighed out a 35-45g portion of cereal, you’ll know you don’t get much in a bowl for the number of calories it contains. IContinue Reading

I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather this week with absolutely no energy and getting out of breath just walking up a few stairs. With Juneathon approaching, this just won’t do, so today I made a batch of spicy soup – if this doesn’t sort me out, nothing will.Continue Reading
This is another recipe I adapted from something I saw on the wonderful What Fat Vegans Eat Facebook page. I’ve never used nori sheets before but I’ve had them once in Yo Sushi and they tasted just like fish so I was careful not to use too much. And it’sContinue Reading
Because I’d made my own vegan mayonnaise a few days ago, obviously it contained no preservatives, which meant I needed to actually use the stuff and not leave it in the fridge ignoring the ‘use within six weeks’ you see on shop bought mayos. I’d had it with some pizzaContinue Reading
I much prefer my cookbooks to be paper-based (as opposed to paperbacks which now I much prefer to be Kindle-based), but when I saw The Skinny Slow Cooker Vegetarian Recipe Book on Amazon for 99p, I thought I’d give it a go. It’s great. I made this curry last nightContinue Reading
