There’s something not quite right about preparing dinner at 11am but there’s a reason slow cookers are called slow. This meant I was chopping onions and mushrooms in the morning before going to university, so dinner would be sort of ready when I got back. All I had to doContinue Reading
I mentioned in a previous post that I invented a Twitter game called #guessthesoup. Today I spiced it up a bit by also posting a photo and I thought today’s soup would be a tough one, but Rachel eventually guessed correctly. Other guesses were: Pea Asparagus Leek Sprouts Cabbage WatercressContinue Reading
Healthy meal no. 2 wasn’t so healthy as it contained Quorn, a packet stir-fry sauce and spring rolls. Still, it wasn’t chocolate, cheese, crisps or chips, so it was a lot more healthy than a lot of my meals recently. My stir-fry was made with leeks and mushrooms from theContinue Reading
It’s that time of year when I sober up and want something other than cheese, chocolate and crisps in my diet. So, today, I looked in The Boxing Clever Cookbook to see what was seasonal and cycled down to my local farm shop and got myself a big bag ofContinue Reading
I popped into Holland & Barrett to use up the £1.50 voucher they’d sent me and buy some of Redwood’s Making Waves Fish-Style Steaks that I loved so much when I tried them a few months ago. After seeing a TON of Redwood’s food in the chiller cabinet reduced fromContinue Reading

I’d never heard of a Morcilla sausage and on looking at the Deli Fry’s website, it says it’s an alternative to the traditional Spanish black pudding. I’ve never had a black pudding – Spanish, or otherwise – so I’ll just have to take their word for that. What I canContinue Reading
‘Fruit juice, water or Prosecco?’ Prosecco? Did she just say Prosecco? I’m at a Nãkd Wholefoods launch and I wasn’t expecting any alcohol. I’m not sure she actually did offer me Prosecco, so I play it safe and ask for a cherry juice. Then someone walks in and gets pouredContinue Reading
I’ve been eating a lot of food out of packets recently, so tonight I decided to have something healthy. There’s a farm shop local to me that sells seasonal vegetables, so I scooted down there to see what they had and made a super-healthy dish that probably contained at leastContinue Reading
