The lovely big pots of Alpro Soya summer fruits soya yoghurt which disappeared a while back are now available again,…but not in the supermarkets. Alpro have brought it back under their premium Organic healthfood shops only Provamel label. It tastes as good as ever and seems to be on offer at the moment in Holland [...]

MILK POWDER ALERT!! Waitrose have gone and deprived us of one of our staples for making cheesecakes! The biscuit shelves in one of the Waitrose stores which I use now carries a label stating that their own digestive biscuits now contain milk!! They’ve changed the recipe. Apparently all new batches have new labels which have whey powder [...] I am currently playing around with an unbaked cheesecake recipe and to this end I have been investigating the availability of dairy free biscuits for the base. While I like baking biscuits very much, I find I’m much less enthusiastic if I know I’m baking them simply in order to crush them up for crumbs. [...] I have another batch of tasty, dairy free sausages from Waitrose. These are honestly labelled as being outdoor bred and barn reared. These are sausages for eating just as sausages, rather than in casseroles which would be a waste of their special, individual flavours. OK These are 81% pork with 1.66g [...] The last few weeks have been a bit thin on posts here and this is because I have become obsessed with salt! I was asked to collect some figures of the sugar and salt content of bought food for my children’s lower school. They’re in the process of putting together a healthy eating policy that [...] This week’s batch of reviews is cereal bars. These have a very mixed press at the moment. The school dieticians seem to regard them as pretty much second to the spawn of Satan. I’ve become involved with the whole Healthy Eating Policy thing in my kids’ lower school and it’s a minefield! More of all [...] Apricot and Guava This is a good one! I found it in my local health food shop this week and can honestly say it’s lovely. It isn’t cheap at 75p for a little 25g pot, but it does taste very good. The texture is slightly odd, in that it has tiny gritty bits in it. I [...] Somehow or other I seem to have missed this essential part of family pudding time off the site. Major oversight! I shall put this right over the next few posts. There are some dairy-free ice creams out there and some of them are good, but they can be hard to find. Some are also very expensive. [...] My local health food shop has managed to produce a pot of the blueberry version of Sojade’s soya yoghurt. I can now report that it’s good, but not quite as good as I’d hoped. The flavour is fairly well rounded, but it’s not as much better than Alpro’s stuff as the plain version is. There [...] In many areas these days, the choice of source for food shopping can be limited to whichever of the big supermarkets has been allowed to dominate your particular patch. We live 15-20 minutes’ drive from any of the big supermarkets, so I use several of them at different times and for different things. The result [...] |
