I remember reading Waste by Tristram Stuart many years ago (published 2009) and being sickened with the fact that, we throw away or waste 1/3rd of our food. When you throw in waste further up the chain (supermarkets etc) you get to 50%+, which is enough … https://t.co/dpivBVlQAo

On the weekend I had a premade Thai Vegetable Curry and non-Mozarella Sticks with Tomato Salsa. Was pretty good. According to the packing this would have been enough food for two, but felt more like a meal for one to me 🐖🐷🐽

Chana Masala, a new recipe, syn free on slimming world, vegan, relatively simple and really tasty. It got the thumbs up and will be made again! It has a couple of chilli peppers in, which you can either take out at the end (low to medium spice) or cut up… https://t.co/1NxDTiHhCO

Vegan sausages (Linda McCartney), sautéed potatoes cooked with onion and garlic, seasoned with rosemary, oregano, basil, salt and pepper and served with beans cooked in vegetable stock. This plate may look like a disgrace but it tastes great! Honestly!

Aldi vegan sausage rolls, sometimes you don't want to or have to cook and just want something beige and easy. Aldi have a really good range of vegan products and the sausage rolls are better than regular meat ones in my opinion. Basic British grub. .

Veganuary, completed it mate! Celebrating with a vegan bento box! I took on the veganuary challenge purely for the sake of animals, but it has been really interesting to see what products are available and learn how to adapt my existing vegetarian recipe… https://t.co/J30pPC5iHx

Day 26... Spaghetti Bolognese with Tesco meat free mince. The recipe I use for this is really good, a nice combination of herbs (oregano and basil) along with ingredients like marmite and red wine stock pots. I have posted photos of this dish previously,… https://t.co/BY27UXwtaI

Day 23... Last night's quick tea, pie, potato and beans - the pie was from Aldi and was very nice, tasted like a normal vegetarian pie. Not an exciting looking plate to look at, but this month I was keen to try both cooking vegan dishes but also seeing w… https://t.co/MOx49ibcH2

Day 20... On the weekend I went to the Toby Carvery and hats off to them, they have three main menu choices which are vegan including the mushroom and ale pie (which I had). The majority of the vegetables from the calvery section are vegan (including roa… https://t.co/5OXyV6K6i9

Day 16... FAILURE: Chickpea and Spinach Curry which I didn't realize until after that part of the marinade contained some Slimming World curry sauce which has milk in it. The meal was delicious, and vegetarian, but missed the mark for being vegan. I deci… https://t.co/O2EVSbzLfL

Day 14... dinner, Beyond Meat burger, slimming world chips made with JD Seasonings, vegan cheese and fresh salad with rainbow tomatoes. Delicious and somehow healthy.

You can forget about it being Veganuary, the Egg Cafe has been an institution in Liverpool as long as I have been here and somewhere that I go at least once per month. In all that time, I have always got the same: Spicy Bean Burger meal, sometimes with n… https://t.co/HxyPae8GAI

Day 4 of Veganuary, for lunch I went to Marks and Spencer and had the plant kitchen's Thai Green Curry. Honestly superb, I will have to see if I can find a recipe which is similar. Highly recommended for anyone on board the veganuary wagon (or of course … https://t.co/ZQfmysswUf

Day 2... Spaghetti Bolognese (with Tesco Vegan Mince), a recipe I have thought for the last year or so is vegan but turns out isn't even vegetarian due to Worcestershire Sauce being in it (anchovies) so substituted that with marmite and it was good to go… https://t.co/NhoKWwmGTQ
