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
I said recently on Facebook that I seemed to be amassing a collection of gluten-free biscuits and, as I’m not a coeliac, I don’t need gluten-free biscuits and why couldn’t I be sent Chocolate Hob Nobs instead? 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
I love dips, so when Manomasa sent me their tortilla chips to try, it seemed like a good excuse to buy some. Manomasa Tortilla Chips are available in three flavours: Chipotle & Lime, White Cheddar, and Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper. Each variety has a distinctive shape (designed 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

TheyContinue Reading
A healthy sausage? The last time I heard such an oxymoron was a couple of weeks ago when a friend mentioned ‘fun’ and ‘camping’ in the same sentence. Still, Secret Sausages have 90% less fat, 50% fewer calories and 35% less salt than normal sausages. And if you eat threeContinue Reading
Because I’d made my own vegan mayonnaise a few days ago, obviously it contained no preservatives, which meant I needed to actually use the stuff and not leave it in the fridge ignoring the ‘use within six weeks’ you see on shop bought mayos. I’d had it with some pizzaContinue Reading
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
