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
The Quorn Kitchen cookbook said the preparation time would be 10 minutes, with the cooking time being 50 minutes. I’ve always thought the preparation time meant the time spent getting the ingredients together, chopping vegetables and getting it ready before it goes in the oven. Oh no, not in thisContinue 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
I always seem to want to cook something on a Sunday and today was no exception. Today I fancied something involving raw chocolate and found a raw vegan brownie recipe. These raw vegan brownies are delicious. They only take a few minutes to make too – it took far longerContinue Reading
After making the Mexican Vegan Crustless Quiche yesterday afternoon, I had half a bag of spinach left over and spinach is always good to add to a pasta dish (or a curry dish for that matter) for a bit of greenery goodness. Quorn Meat Free Swedish Meatballs with Tomato andContinue 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
Some things just don’t quite go to plan. Like last night’s dinner, for example. I had planned to have pie, roast potatoes, green beans and gravy but on investigating the freezer, found there was only one pie. So, Plan B was Quorn sausages and roast potatoes but on investigating theContinue Reading
I’m glad I didn’t make these yesterday on Vegan Monday, as there’s no way I would have been able to resist them until today. Quick, easy and I didn’t even need to leave the house to buy any ingredients. Oh, they’re flipping delicious, too. Chilli cheese flapjacks (makes 9 slices)Continue 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
