Baking with Nick Cave: Banana Bread Resurrected 53 1
I don't particularly like bananas. They're o.k. but I can go months without eating one and never really missing it. The best thing to come out of bananas - apart from pancakes - is banana bread. To be honest, I don't[...]

This is How I think... 53 1
I like to have one big cooking day a week to set me up for the rest of the week. My schedule is crazy-busy these days - with no car but plenty of after-school clubs, football, dancing, gymnastics and Parent Committees to attend - so if I have a[...]

Manic Monday... 53 1
Manic Weekend , in fact - dance classes, birthday parties (not so good remembering it's a joint birthday party fifteen minutes before you're due to set off for it!) motorbike lessons, swimming and a trip to the play park - so I'm just back[...]

Burgarmix I love you.. 53 1
But you're bringing me do-own.... Burgamix is a quaint, British vegan institution - that of the dried mock meat mix that you re-constitute with water to make a delicious meat analogue. Yes, sounds kind of... uninspiring and weird, I[...]

Tea-ny Tiny Tea Cosy! 53 1
Well, I don't know about you guys, but all I can say after the first week of Vegan Mofo is just ' Phewee !!!'. I made the (un?)wise decision of picking up the blog bundle for my Google reader and suffice to say, for the first time in my[...]

Things that make you go... 53 1
...Oooooh! Seabrooks Hot and Spicy Wasabi Horseradish Crisps - The Mister liked them so much he wanted two more... Yes, these crisps are not only Ninja-vegan, but hot as all-hell. So much so, that I almost cried as I was[...]

Thrifty Thursday: Posh Coffee on the Cheap 53 1
I love me a nice vanilla soya latte from a coffee-shop, but my conscience and my purse really don't! So, with my thrifty head on the solution is obvious. I have a plain old coffee percolator - (well, I say that, it's an old-fashioned Cona[...]

Hump-Day Baking: Lancashire Parkin 53 1
It's traditional in the North of England to make this sticky, treacle and oatmeal-rich version of gingerbread for eating on November 5th - Guy Fawkes Night - though why gingerbread is associated with the attempted overthrow of the Government[...]
