I'm not sure this is true... artisan foods are often far more labour intensive & bread is the perfect example. Modern steam baking methods can turn out a loaf from mixing to the finished article in...
Just worked it out - our household spends around £98 a week all in... food/household products/toiletries etc.. (2 people) However, we buy good basics like olive oil & always get good wine - so we...
These are excellent ideas... but given the price of fuel is it really more economical to use dried beans? Does anyone know the answer? I suppose you could boil up masses and freeze for later use......

Sounds like you did the tour! Such munificence! Is it Woolworths or the offer that ends on thursday? Keep hoping they don't de-list any of this stuff soon.... rice dream's pretty much a minority...
At least dogs never lie about love.
In Liguria they put cashew nuts or almonds in it but mostly exclude cheese.....
I stayed at a place called Al Soar for E80 a night. It was good because you got a little "flat" with a kitchenette. There was also another kitchen in the building which was well stocked with coffee,...
I forgot the most amazing place of the lot: Dandelion & Burdock in Sowerby Bridge. Completely vegan! Not even the ususal concession of keeping cow juice under the counter for dairy addicts. Lovely...
Just a little tip..... I lived in Texas for two years. I'd avoid that chunk if I were you!
Check out the last edition of Ethical Consumer & New Internationalist.... The national origin of the supermarket hardly matters.... TESCO avoid paying huge amounts of tax & have screwed loads of...
I didn't mean the 'Whole Foods' store (US chain) I meant any local wholefood shop! Blimey, shopping in Kensington is going to push the bills up!!!! Tell me where you are and I'll research your local...
If you get the long life stuff, why not ask your local wholefood shop to get you a case and get a case price discount of 10%.
If you know other veg*ns or wholefooders, it's worth contacting one of the big wholesalers (SUMA*, LEMBAS*, INFINITY* or GOODNESS**) to see if you can bulk buy. If you're doing this for a few people...
There's push & there's pull factors I guess, but I'm glad you still choose to spend a good proportion with local retailers. At least supermarkets aren't your default setting. The supermarkets don't...

Yeah I'd agree John. Its a phenomena they call postural hypotension & it's occurs when getting up from lying down or reclining. See the GP to confirm it's nothing more sinister.
& has anyone tried the new Booja Booja raw truffles yet? The raspberry ones are fabulous.
There is another brand by the Raw company & they do a chocolate/coconut & cinnamon/raisin version. They're moist and delicious.
Here here pinkcharge... & they also sell below cost too... although I doubt that's the case with Nakd bars.
They acheive the texture by dehydration & that's probably why they cause indigestion...
Not that far from me in the grand scheme of things there are loads of places for vegans to eat:
Thai Jantra (Boston Spa) - very good
The Retreat (Grassington) - very good
Blakes Head Bookshop...
or 3: Both ;-)
Explains my zinc deficiency!
Eat food*, not too much, mostly plants.
So says Michael Pollen & I have to agree with him & bradders.

When I used to run a lot and regularly walk the fells I maintained a low, but healthy weight on a vegan diet.... between 8 stones & 8.5 stones (I'm only 5'7"-small stature - I'm a twin)... since my...
I rarely eat at Pizza Express, but just occasionally when it's the only game in town, quite helpful & knowledgeable about vegan requirements. It's slightly irksome though, when I omit the cheese but...

I know you already know it wasn't TESCO!! ;-) You should be able to get it at your local wholefood shop. If you don't have one, or they can't get hold of it then try:...
Main:
Smoked tofu stir fried with onion, thai curry paste, coconut milk and smooth cashew nut butter. Add some strips of veg for flash frying at the last minute - I add my garlic and ginger at this...
I agree with you pusskins... I'm guessing you just compensate with Insulin. Those that control diabetes and follow a low glycaemic load diet would have to be wary of consuming a lot of sugar, but the...

I did feel empathy with animals and living things as a child... except my little brother!
Some soils are quite rich in iodine. If you eat locally sourced vegetables/fruits it's worth finding out the iodine status of your soil if you're concerned about iodine in the diet.
There's a book by Michael Pollen In Defence of Food which begins like this:
