[...] I have just realised that I forgot to post last week’s haul. Another bumper haul from my local fruit & vegetable Co-op. All this wonderful produce for only £6! For details of finding your local food Co-op see here. Food poverty is a very real issue and I am delighted that by supporting my co-op [...] [...] Another bumper haul from my local fruit & vegetable Co-op. All this wonderful produce for only £6! For details of finding your local food Co-op see here, or why not set your own up if you do not have a co-op near to you. Sadly, food poverty is a real problem in parts of the [...] [...] It has been 2 months since I last took a photo of my co-op haul. I have still being taking part; but with a glut of fresh food, a bit of a blog break during August and then a holiday, I have not written about it. It is now mid September, the salad bags have [...] [...] This summer I have been getting an iceberg lettuce every week in my co-op box and frankly I am a little bored of them. Nothing conjures up an image of an 1970′s salad more than an iceberg. Add some pale watery tomatoes, celery and chunks of cucumber and a good dollop of [...] [...] Another bumper haul for £6. I have just discovered the perfect fuss free recipe for iceburg lettuce that makes it totally delicious! I’ll be posting it soon. [...] Along with lots of other bloggers I was recently sent a coolbag crammed full with Total Greek yogurt, which I have greatly been enjoying using and cooking with.

I think that a bowl of dip is the perfect casual starter. Easy to throw together from store cupboard staples and the contents of my co-op veg box, [...] [...] London is hot hot hot and humid to boot. I am positively enjoying my supermarket trips at the moment as I linger and closely examine every object in the frozen section. And what better for these hot summer mornings than ice cream for breakfast? This is totally healthy, unprocessed, raw and vegan and tastes fantastic. [...] [...] I have a huge amount of love for smoked & tinned fish, it is delicious, cheap and when sealed in its packet keeps well for several weeks. I buy my smoked and tinned fish from Waitrose as all their fish is sustainable and certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. A few weeks ago I was [...] [...] My food co-op has just made the summer switch over from vegetable bags to salad bags. Despite having not had a bag for the last couple of weeks (busy with life and the decorating) there are still a number of root vegetables languishing at the bottom of the fridge waiting to be eaten. As recent [...] [...] I am sure that all regular readers know we have been decorating and as my kitchen has been out of action I have had a few weeks off from my local co-op. [...] This simple healthy dip is packed with flavour and is lighter on the calories as I used water rather than oil to thin it; roasting the carrots and onion concentrates the flavour and makes a sweet tasting delicious dip which will count towards your 5 a day, the addition of sesame oil adds a nutty [...] [...] This recipe was a happy accident, I had been planning to make a risotto with my food co-op leek and some spring greens, but I only had half the amount of risotto rice I needed.
