People know that I enjoy cooking and that I generally like to eat healthily, and well and often. Some are also aware of my trying to stick to a vegan diet “for at least 80% of the time as it makes me feel healthier and it is better for the planet”*. As a result I [...] [...]

Regular readers will know that I am a huge fan of smoked and tinned fish “gloops” of varying types. This simple lunch was made with half a tin of white beans, that were in the freezer, a piece of smoked mackerel and some horseradish sauce. Served on some homemade bread, also from the freezer, it [...] [...] A while ago I was sent a bag of Total Greek Yogurt to try, and one of the dishes I made was some coronation chicken made with leftovers from the previous nights roast. When buying my chicken I was amazed that my small local Sainsbury’s had two breeds of free range chicken for sale, I [...] [...] According to the date of the photo I made this several months ago, in March to be exact. I know it was utterly delicious, so the photo was thus placed in the “To be blogged at a later date when I have time” file. Usually, unless I blog within 2 days of making [...] [...] Have I mentioned before that I really really really love dips?

Add some pale watery tomatoes, celery and chunks of cucumber and a good dollop of [...] [...] This is the pudding that I came up with for the recent foodbloggers’ Masterchef cookoff with Miele. When planning a menu it is perfectly normal and reasonable to come up with a pudding first and then plan a main course to go with it? I wanted a very summery pudding using my homemade elderflower cordial; [...] [...] 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. It is still baking hot in London and I really do not want to spend hours slaving over a hot stove so I have been spending the [...] [...] You know the occasions when you have asked people for supper, then you get home 5 minutes before they are due to arrive and nothing is prepared? 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. [...] [...] |
