Freedom Mallows have revamped their range, giving it a makeover and bringing in a new mascot – a sloth called Cedric. Part of the range includes a bag of mini marshmallows, which are perfect for baking or adding to hot chocolate. I made some vegan rocky road with mine. IContinue Reading
Domu sent me a replacement soup maker, so I’m still trying to make friends with it. At least the new one doesn’t require whacking on the side to make it start up, I suppose, and I have just about figured out how to use it, hooray. Years ago, when IContinue Reading
I’ve been having a bit of a ‘use up what’s in the freezer’ week, this week, as our freezer is bursting with stuff, which means there’s no room to put anything new and interesting, which can’t be right. I pulled out a plastic container and left it on the sideContinue Reading
I’d never made a nice risotto. So, when Sunrise Care asked me to make the Tomato and Basil Risotto recipe on their website, I thought ‘uh oh’. But, I know the key to a good risotto is to pour the liquid in slowly and to keep stirring, which is whereContinue Reading
The brownies I’d made were about to run out, so obviously that meant I needed to make more snacks. To balance out the unhealthy brownies, I decided to make some chia seed flapjacks and found this chia seed flapjacks recipe which, apart from the Golden Syrup, is made with healthyContinue Reading

After seeing someone posting this on one of the vegan Facebook groups I’m a member of, I really wanted to make them. There’s quite a lot to it – it’s not something you’re going to whip up in a couple of minutes – but it’s mostly seasonings and the methodContinue Reading
I’ve no idea why over the last few days, I’ve had an urge to make honeycomb. But I did have an urge and urges must be listened to, I reckon (well, not all urges, obviously, but honeycomb is harmless enough). As I didn’t have a clue how to make honeycomb,Continue Reading
I decided to have a bit of a change and not make a soup that simply consisted of ‘throw some veg in a pan with some stock and boil it for a bit’ but to follow a recipe instead and make something a tad more interesting. This hot and sourContinue Reading
