SUGARED STRAWBERRIES WITH BLUEBERRIES & MANGO SORBET
❤ 100% Vegan
Strawberries have more vitamin C than oranges.
Sorbet is also a refreshing and great alternative to ice cream as it is NOT made using milk.
Mangoes are a fantastic source of vitamin D.
NORWEGIAN VEILED PEASANT GIRL PUDDINGS
❤ 100 % Vegan
Made from soya, plant based whipping cream.
Made using apples from Rosette’s garden.
Apparently a Norwegian was invited for dinner and thought he got lucky.
All that he got were these puddings which are now infamous.
PRINCESS PEA SALAD
❤ 100% Vegan
Peas are a perfect way to add 1 of your 5 a day to a meal or salad as they only take 2 minutes to cook from frozen, are sweet and delicious.
They add a ‘pop’ to my salad and with 35,000 hectares grown in the UK per year that’s 160,000 tonnes of frozen peas, the UK is 90% self sufficient in peas and with a low carbon footprint they are cheerfully cheap too.
They are also a great way to pack in some protein and with vitamins A, B, C and E can reduce inflammation and the symptoms of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.
Please see also, The Princess & the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen, a fairytale about a princess who is acknowledged by her sensitivity.

CURRIED (!) TORTILLA
I like to spicen this traditional Spanish dish with some Indian herbs and spices, tumeric (good for strong bones), cumin (full of iron), crushed chillies, black pepper and paprika (with a sweet flavour) works really well with the potatoes and onions in this traditional Spanish dish…
I also like to add sweet potatoes and peas to my tortilla as well as plain potatoes and onions, as I find their sweet taste pleasing for this savoury dish and they are full of fibre.
It’s also, like all of my recipes now, 100% vegetarian and lactose free, if not Vegan.

THE COOKING CHEAT
HOME BAKED CROISSANTS
These croissants are exciting to watch rise and take shape in the oven (!)
Frozen for you to bake at home, these are delightful little treats to keep in your freezer for an emergency lazy morning when you want that hot pastry smell, but without the butter sticking to your fingers.
Cheap and much more cheerful alternative to the pricey individually priced pick and mix pastries you sometimes find in the supermarket.
They only take about 20 minutes to bake.
Delicious and fresh too (!)
Total Cost: £2 for 6 Croissants (Best deal in town).
