The Great Vegan Protein Book by Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes is a cookbook bursting with – in case you hadn’t guessed – protein-rich recipes. These mouth-watering plant-basedContinue Reading
Although I’d never pretend to be a cake expert (a cakespert?), I’ve got to say, these gluten-free cupcakes from Genius don’t appear to be any different from their un-gluten-free counterparts. I’ve only tried the lemon one so far which had a sweet lemony frosting on top of a light, fluffyContinue Reading

Because my kitchen currently looks like this: I haven’t done any cooking in there for a week or so. Despite the novelty and convenience of having Papa John’s pizza on a Monday night, pre-packaged pasta and couscous salad on Tuesday night and leftover Papa John’s last night, today I craved something notContinue Reading
You know I said how much I loved Bodychef’s feta and pepper spread? Well, I loved it so much I decided to make my own. Mine had a thinner texture than Bodychef’s but you can add as much or as little oil as you like, depending on your own personalContinue Reading

The end is nigh. Just one full day today and lunch tomorrow and I’ll be Bodycheffed out. As usual, I eschewed Bodychef’s breakfast and had a nectarine instead. But at 9:30am, hunger struck and so I braved the supplied ‘special cereal’ (205 cals) with some soya milk. If ‘special’ isContinue Reading
I survived Saturday with no pizza and no wine, so Sunday was sure to be easy, right? Wrong! I craved Papa John’s pizza like a cat craves crème fraîche but at least I had a cheese sandwich to look forward to for lunch. Before lunch though, I’d run 5 milesContinue Reading
Whoop, it’s the weekend and weekends mean stuffing my face with pizza or Indian or Chinese or whatever I fancy, along with lots of wine. Well, this weekend, that kind of weekend is for other people. But, hey, I’m tough – I can do this! I had a nectarine (my own)Continue Reading
