The people from My Vitamins and My Protein asked me if I wanted to try some of their products. Not being particularly into supplements which I assumed is all they sold, I wasn’t expecting there to be anything I fancied but thought I’d have a look anyway and on theContinue Reading
Like last week, this afternoon I prepared myself something to eat for when I got back from a run this evening. Like last week, I couldn’t resist ‘testing’ it first. I’d made myself a pasta salad with pesto, spinach, toasted pumpkin seeds and toasted pine nuts and it’s sitting inContinue 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
So many US recipes specify tempeh, but it’s not easy to find over here. However, the other week when I was buying some vital wheat gluten, I saw some jars of it, so thought I’d get some while I was there. It looked a strange substance, floating in a jarContinue Reading
I’m supposed to be writing a book review, so obviously I had the urge to bake something instead. I had it in my head that I wanted to use up the silken tofu in the cupboard and googled recipes for muffins that used silken tofu, then realised I didn’t haveContinue Reading

Unfortunately, no Chocolate Hob Nobs were forthcoming (yeah, okay, I could have goneContinue Reading
I’m sorry, I really am going to stop gushing about the What Fat Vegans Eat Facebook page soon but here’s another recipe I was inspired to make after seeing everyone’s home-made vegan cheese on there. Some looked a bit complicated for a noob like me, so I scouted around forContinue 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 usually only have a smoothie for breakfast, I’m usually hungry again by about 11am which is too early for lunch but near enough lunchtime to not want anything too substantial. 9bar have just launched their range of breakfast bars which are ideal for that hungry-but-it’s-too-early-for lunch dilemma.
