Now that Halloween is over with, the Christmas spirit has absolutely taken over the UK. Granted, I think this began at the beginning of October, but here we are in November and I swear I can barely move for the amount of Christmas decorations currently in the shops. I am not normally one who decorates … Continue reading Chocolate orange bourbon cookies

Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs
I feel that the chicken kyiv is quite the staple of the British cuisine, and so when I went vegetarian it was quite hard to find anything as a replacement, let alone finding a vegan alternative. The few I have tried have always ended up being very bland and super dry, so I admit when … Continue reading Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs

Faith in Nature orange soap bar
I like to circulate my scents so I usually have two soaps on the go at one time. Mainly so I can try the different scents and products, but also so I don't get too used to one scent.

I can confirm however that the raspberry marzipan swirl is still an elite … Continue reading Donutelier Chocolate Swirl

The Tofoo Company Southern fried tofu
It seems the start of Spring has signalled many brands to expand their range of products, and Tofoo is one such brand. I tend to only buy their tofu blocks, as they are pretty affordable and their firm tofu is good for scramble recipes. But this is the first time I've seen ready meals available … Continue reading The Tofoo Company Southern fried tofu

There are two new flavours too, so it made a trip feel a bit more exciting knowing that I was going to have some new flavours to enjoy. The cherry bakewell tastes exactly how … Continue reading Krispy Kreme cherry bakewell doughnut
