24.01.2022 I can't believe its 12 months since our India visit. This time last year we were here exploring the oldest spice market. Trying new spices and mango black tea. Organised chaos and a taste sensation. One of which was black salt which I have sourced for my spice range. Its quite sulphurous but delicious on fruit and is excellent added to fruit syrups in summer for an exceptionally refreshing drink on a hot day.

04.01.2022 Plant Based Meat Craze You may have seen an upsurge in the supermarkets lately for Plant-based meats. These can be highly processed and contain additives such as extra sugar, salt and fats. The plant-based revolution isnt for everyone. Though sales of plant-based foods grew by 11.3% in 2019, ... Plant protein is a source of protein from plants. This group can include pulses, tofu, nuts, seeds, certain grains and even peas Some examples are chickpeas, lentils, beans (such as black, kidney and adzuki beans) and split peas. Plant-based proteins tend to be lower in calories and fat than animal proteins but higher in fibre and essential nutrients. So this Month my weekly recipes are going to feature plant based proteins without the processing and additives. Stay tuned. :) #MeatFree #Plantbasedprotein #Vegetariansnacks
