The kitchen is currently being redecorated, so that seemed like a good excuse to be lazy and just chuck a load of stuff in the slow cooker. I’d been sent a few Old El Paso products to try but unfortunately two of the products weren’t suitable for vegetarians (the OneContinue Reading
The Quorn Kitchen cookbook said the preparation time would be 10 minutes, with the cooking time being 50 minutes. I’ve always thought the preparation time meant the time spent getting the ingredients together, chopping vegetables and getting it ready before it goes in the oven. Oh no, not in thisContinue Reading
After making the Mexican Vegan Crustless Quiche yesterday afternoon, I had half a bag of spinach left over and spinach is always good to add to a pasta dish (or a curry dish for that matter) for a bit of greenery goodness. Quorn Meat Free Swedish Meatballs with Tomato andContinue Reading
Some things just don’t quite go to plan. Like last night’s dinner, for example. I had planned to have pie, roast potatoes, green beans and gravy but on investigating the freezer, found there was only one pie. So, Plan B was Quorn sausages and roast potatoes but on investigating theContinue Reading
Did you know February is National Heart Month? No? Waitrose did and they came up with some recipes to keep our hearts healthy and asked me to test one of them. There are a few vegetarian recipes on the website, but I love puff pastry, so I decided to vegetarianiseContinue Reading

There’s not really enough room for another gadget in the kitchen, but that didn’t stop me buying a slow cooker. I’d been looking at them on Amazon and hearing good things from friends so when I saw this one on the shelf in Tesco for £14, I thought I mightContinue Reading
This was so easy to make and absolutely delicious. I was worried while I was making it because I’d never made a korma before and the recipe called for coconut milk but all I had in the cupboard were sachets of coconut cream and so I asked Twitter for adviceContinue Reading
I seem to be going through a pasta and pizza phase at the moment. We had spaghetti on Friday, chilled supermarket pizza on Saturday, Papa John’s delivery pizza on Sunday, pasta bake on Monday and lasagne tonight. Tonight’s lasagne was from the Quorn Kitchen cookbook. It contains pesto and TheContinue Reading
Another courgette recipe, again from Rose Elliot’s New Complete Vegetarian. We still have two courgettes in the fridge and apparently there are more to come out of the greenhouse, so there’ll be even more courgette recipes on the way soon. I made a courgette and smoked feta cheese soup lastContinue Reading
