I’d printed this seitan piccata recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen website a while back and finally got round to making it. I’d run out of capers and didn’t use any wine as wine belongs in a glass, not a saucepan, and although it didn’t look like any other piccataContinue Reading
When I went to Vegfest London last year, my bag was nowhere near big enough to cram full with all the veggie stuff I wanted to buy – although I gave it a good go – so this year I’m going to be prepared and take a rucksack with me.Continue Reading
Since finding out a few weeks ago that tofu is transformed if you press it to get all the water out, I’ve been keen to make it again. I also wanted to cover it in panko breadcrumbs again because everything’s improved when you cover it in breadcrumbs, isn’t it? Well,Continue Reading
I made these mini cheesecakes after spotting the recipe while browsing the Minimalist Baker blog. I ate the first one straight from the freezer and while it was okay, it wasn’t amazing. So, today, after taking one out of the freezer, I let it defrost and soften before eating itContinue Reading
I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve never been able to make hummus as nice as the ones in the supermarket. Until now, that is. I was browsing the Minimalist Baker website yesterday and stumbled across their microwave hummus recipe. They reckoned it was the best ever hummusContinue Reading

Egg mayonnaise is wonderful but, you know, eggs come out of a chicken’s bum and all that which, you’ve got to admit, is a bit ick. I was willing to be corrected by a friend that eggs don’t, in fact, come out of a chicken’s bum but then he wasContinue Reading
Just reading the ingredients for this juice makes you feel healthier before you’ve even tasted it. Because it has so many vegetables in it, I was worried it would taste a bit ‘green’ (despite it being red in colour) but I needn’t have worried, it was just as fruity asContinue Reading
I thought I could remember when Vimto first burst into the playground, but apparently it was invented in 1908 and I’m not quite *that* old. Still, as my dad worked for Coca Cola, it was the law in our house to only drink that and I still feel I’m betrayingContinue Reading
