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…
This is one of my favourite kitchen hacks ever because it saves time, effort and cleaning to get you a perfectly crispy and crunchy poppadum, whether for a snack or for with your meal. No faff, just a great poppadum. If you have ever bee to the supermarket and seen the price for the ready…

You might very well be wondering what ‘stoup’ is and I wouldn’t blame you…
I have loads of old cookbooks and recipes that I have either inherited or collected as a child and that included my Cooking Clips book. I decided to have a snoop through my cooking clips the other day and discovering how old some of the recipes are, it gave me the idea to include a retro section…
