Meatless farm beef, red wine and porcini mushroom girasole

I am always quite a fan of Meatless Farm products. Whilst they're food doesn't do anything revolutionary to change the vegan options available on the market, the food is always affordable and consistently tasty. So when I saw that they have released a new range of pasta dishes, I had to give them a go. … Continue reading Meatless farm beef, red wine and porcini mushroom girasole

Beyond Meat is probably one of the best meat alternatives on the market right now. The texture, appearance and taste is very close to meat - to the point where I do sometimes panic that I have accidentally picked up a meat product.
