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
I thought this soup might be a bit adventurous for lunchtime – my lunches are usually plain and simple (if you don’t take into account the pizza flavoured tofu in pitta bread I had yesterday), but I needn’t have worried; this soup was lovely. It’s silky smooth, with a subtleContinue Reading
This is the nicest soup I’ve made for ages and more than makes up for the disastrous soup I made last week. Of course, it could be because it’s got chilli in it; chilli improves everything (except avocado. Nothing could improve that. Bleurgh). The recipe is taken from the BBCContinue Reading
The other day, I made a soup so disgusting I had to throw it away. It was a dal soup from a Rose Elliot cookbook and the recipe called for water, not stock, and this made me dubious. But, you know, it’s Rose Elliot; I thought, ‘it’s okay, Rose knowsContinue Reading
When I bought the Jus-Rol Puff Pastry last weekend, I also picked up a pack of Jus-Rol Pain au Chocolat. I hadn’t made them until now as, for some reason, I didn’t know you had to assemble them yourself. I have no idea how I thought Jus-Rol fitted 6 pastriesContinue Reading

Teapigs Organic Matcha could never be accused of being humble. Amongst its claims, it says one serving contains: 137 times the antioxidants of green tea; 70 times the antioxidants of orange juice; and 9 times the beta carotene of spinach, which, considering one serving is a titchy half a teaspoonContinue Reading
Okay, I slipped up with the lip balm thing again. And the hot chocolate thing. I am officially rubbish at Vegan Monday. Still, breakfast (fruit), lunch (leek and potato soup) and dinner (leftover aubergine and lentil curry from last week) were all vegan. As were the snacks – I hadContinue Reading
Ssh, don’t tell anyone, but when my delivery of raw cacao arrived in the post this morning, I got excited and skived off to the supermarket to get the rest of the ingredients I needed to make this raw vegan fudge my friend Vivianne had told me about on Facebook.Continue Reading
