I’m not the world’s best photographer (I must get round to reading my ‘Food Photography for Bloggers’ books), so you’ll just have to take my word for it that these potato wedges taste better than they look. Usually, I just boil new potatoes or heat up some chips, but IContinue Reading
I’m always dubious by those smoothies you find on the shelves. Are they really as healthy as they make out? I’m not so sure. Savse raw smoothies, however, are so healthy, just one little bottle provides you with two of your five a day. They’re 100% natural, unpasteurised, contain noContinue Reading
Truckle Cheese Co’s Oak Smoked Cheddar is naturally smoked over oakwood chips and made from milk produced on West Country farms. I had some today in a sandwich, along with cucumber, tomato, sprouts and mayonnaise. The deep oak flavour of the cheese went beautifully with the fresh, crispness of theContinue Reading
The Meat Eater was away for the weekend, so that seemed a good time to be lazy and heat myself up a ready meal for dinner. It especially seemed a good time, as Amy’s Kitchen had sent me some vouchers to try out their soups and ready meals. They’d sentContinue Reading

I seem to have become a bit of a Linda McCartney fan-girl recently and now I’ve tried the Linda McCartney Vegetarian Burgers with a Peppered Mushroom Melt, I reckon they’ll be popped into the shopping basket each week along with the Fish Free Scampi. The Meat Eater wanted his burgerContinue Reading
Not only are BEAR Yo Yos delicious, made of 100% fruit, one of your 5 a day, they’re also fun. When was the last time you opened a packet and found a card with a fact like this: I’m guessing ladybirds feel threatened most of the time, so next timeContinue Reading
