After my confession on Sunday about using non-vegan stock for my soup, I thought surely I’ve got it sussed now – there can’t be any more hidden dangers can there? Then, while I was applying lip balm for what was probably the seventeenth time on Monday, it occurred to meContinue Reading
I’ve mentioned before, I’m always a bit dubious about vegan cheese. But, I’m always willing to try a new one so gave Violife a go. Violife comes in ten flavours, including original, tomato & basil, mushroom, olive, hot peppers and pizza flavour. I had a couple of slices of theContinue Reading
