the sustainable and money saving way to eat and live
We all have those days on our meal plan where we need something tasty that doesn’t take all night to cook and with a little help from my friend, the rice shaped pasta, Orzo, I created this easy and tasty one pot meal. Quick and easy two-pot vegan orzo. The only reason it is two-pot…
If you grew up in the UK, you are more than likely to have had cheese and Branston Pickle sandwiches at some time or another. It was while I was eating a cheese and bean toastie (another throwback) that I came up with the idea of a cheese and pickle quiche using the one and only…
I have been so chuffed with my Morphy Richards 46641 Pressure Cooker, 6 L – Stainless Steel since I bought it because it has enabled me to quickly rustle up bean meals in a jiffy or run up some houmous at last minute! I don’t know how I lived without it! Plus, it works out…
I have been asked by a couple of readers how to make oat flour. If you have ever seen it in the shops it can be quite expensive and honestly, who wants to store another type of flour in their cupboard. I know that I don’t! Many of you will already have oats in your…
In an attempt to copy Pret a Manger’s new soup menu, I created a Curried Cauliflower and Sweet Potato soup recipe. I had roasted cauliflower soup when I visited Dublin’s Food Cooperative earlier this year and absolutely fell in love with it. Not only was it a superb soup, it came with fresh bread piled…

You might very well be wondering what ‘stoup’ is and I wouldn’t blame you…
I love making banana bread, in fact I love making and eating this vegan banana bread! Bananas seem to be one of those unloved fruits that can end up going black at the bottom of the fruit bowl and everyone refusing to eat them because they’re all squshy and weird. I, on the other hand, really enjoy a…
Pasta, Courgette and Mozzarella is a delicious and easy mid week meal from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, featured in Vegetarian Living Magazine April 2013 (with my little tweaks) Pasta, Courgette and Mozzarella (with added olives and sun dried tomatoes) Ingredients: 500g courgettes 3 tbsp olive oil 350g Penne pasta (I wanted to have enough for left overs the…
We were out at an event for the Manchester Science Festival last Friday, so I planned on making something nice and easy as we wouldn’t be eating until late. I decided on tagliatelle with lemon and spinach sauce as it is a total cheats meal as you use lemon yoghurt to create the sauce! (Perfect…
