My local Chinese!

Down the bottom of my road is a wonderful, if not a little strange, Chinese take away. Run by quite an eccentric lady who always gives a free gift, be in a bunch of grapes or a can of beer, it is a joy. I must admit I have partaken of the goodies on offer there about 4 times in the last month but it keeps me going back. It is called Sunlan and if you are ever in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire, you must give it a...

Pumpkin Soup

I have to admit to making the nicest pumpkin soup I have ever had yesterday so I thought I’d share the recipe which as always I just made up! Lightly fry an onion in olive oil.

Half a cup of red lentils. If able,...

On the bottom of the cup are those words ‘bone china’. Bone china is made with cattle bones, or the...

Stuck!

I would love to write some more reviews on vegan wines but it seems I cannot get any! The ones I have listed are the only vegan wines I can get in Norway, or so it appears!

Calcium

We all know calcium only comes from milk, cheese and yoghurt don’t we? After all, it is what we are taught from a young age. Yet what if what we were taught was wrong?…. Can it really be possible to get calcium from other sources? Won’t I get osteoporosis if I turn vegan?

Here is the basic recipe - give it a go as a starter or snack with some strips of toated pitta, tortilla chips or dippable...
