Riverford sent me some celery. I don’t hate celery, per se, but I don’t like it cooked in stews or anything like that and I certainly don’t want to make a soup out of it and I don’t really like it raw in salads either. As far as I can see,Continue Reading
I’ve been hankering after a food dehydrator for years. Mostly, I’ve got to admit, because it’s a kitchen gadget and, despite what The Meat Eater says, you can’t have too many kitchen gadgets. The thing is though, what exactly does one do with a dehydrator? Yes, I know you dehydrateContinue Reading
I love crisps but I’m only too aware they’re not the healthiest snack around so I’m always on the look out for a healthy alternative. Therefore, I was keen to give Scrubbys a go when they got in touch recently. Scrubbys is an award-winning vegetable crisp brand available in two flavoursContinue Reading
I’ve reinstated my Riverford Veg Box delivery and last week I received a box containing – amongst other vegetables – kale and parsnips. Parsnips are usually something I only ever eat when they’re forced on me but they do make a delicious soup, especially when spiced up with a bitContinue Reading
I’m glad I didn’t make these yesterday on Vegan Monday, as there’s no way I would have been able to resist them until today. Quick, easy and I didn’t even need to leave the house to buy any ingredients. Oh, they’re flipping delicious, too. Chilli cheese flapjacks (makes 9 slices)Continue Reading

I woke up yesterday morning and decided that, from now on, Mondays would be vegan days. First things first though, and I went downstairs to check if my hot chocolate was vegan. It wasn’t, dammit! But, aha! I had a tub of cocoa in the cupboard, which is vegan. Okay,Continue Reading
The Meat Eater looked at his plate and said ‘what is it?’ ‘A chimichanga’, I said. He said that didn’t really tell him much so I explained it was a tortilla filled with kale and beans and peppers and he relaxed a little. When I got to the ‘carefully foldContinue Reading
I’ve called this Quorn Singapore noodles, but it was a mix of Quorn mince and Sainsbury’s meatfree mince I had in the freezer I needed to use up. Not that it mattered. This was delicious, quick and easy. Quorn Singapore noodles (serves 4) Taken from The Quorn Kitchen 350g QuornContinue Reading
