The Quick Cook Vegetarian cookbook is a bargain. Not only did it only cost me about £4 including postage from amazon, each recipe is accompanied by a full-colour photo and each recipe only takes 30 minutes to prepare. And if 30 minutes is too long for you, each recipe alsoContinue Reading
Eating a casserole for lunch seemed a bit much but I had been to the gym for two hours this morning and was hungry. Like yesterday’s tin of pea soup, before heating it up, I sniffed it (I don’t have a fetish for sniffing things in tins, honest). It smeltContinue Reading
Pea soup. Sounds disgusting, doesn’t it? It does to me, anyway. Still, it was free, so I thought I’d give it a go. I opened the tin and had a sniff. It smelt like peas. I suppose it would really, but I wasn’t expecting it to. I heated it upContinue Reading
Last night’s dinner was a disaster and ended up in the bin. It was a tofu stir-fry with some ready made sauce. I don’t know how Cauldron have managed it, but they’ve made their tofu even more soggy than it used to be and there was no way I couldContinue Reading
Coveted by cord wearers it says on the packet. I like cord. I also like crisps, so I should love these. Tyrrells Crinkly Veg Crisps are a new product from Tyrrells. Instead of putting potatoes through their crinkling machine, they had a go with root vegetables (according to the PRContinue Reading
I usually avoid any food that has the word ‘diet’ on the packaging. Everyone’s on a diet, all the time. It may not be a healthy diet, but it’s still a diet. Anyway, because my usual Activia yoghurts (I don’t know if Activia spell their yoghurt with an ‘h’, I’mContinue Reading
I haven’t made a Dutch pancake since I moved in with The Meat Eater, as he doesn’t like pancakes. I also missed out on the pancakes at Googies last Tuesday (Pancake Day) lunchtime with my uni mates, as I had a tutorial with my tutor. So, as The Meat EaterContinue Reading
The Meat Eater has been complaining that since I became a student, all I cook is oven chips. This is a little harsh, but not entirely untrue, so I made an effort and looked for some recipes to cook this week. Tonight’s effort was HFW’s version (called ‘Corner Shop Spanakopita’Continue Reading
I’ve been drinking soya milk for years, after giving up moo juice. Never having been brave enough to try anything other than soya milk, I was pleased when I was asked if I’d like to review Provamel’s new almond milk and oat milk. Not being a fan of marzipan, IContinue Reading
Before going to the supermarket, I’d asked The Meat Eater if he needed anything. He asked for crisps. He usually buys the same McCoys multipack each week and so I thought, hurrah, I can force him to be carefree and adventurous and I’ll get him some Monster Munch or Square Crisps orContinue Reading
