NEW Alpro Fromage Frais

Great new dessert from Alpro – in Sainburys for just 50p!

Just a super quick post to tell you about these delicious little pots.

They come in three flavours, blackcurrant, mango and passion fruit. I spotted them in Sainsbury’s yesterday on offer for 50p.
The texture is gorgeous! Really thick and creamy, like strained yoghurt. So far I’ve tried passion fruit and it’s a lovely combination of flavours and textures.
Each pot contains around 120 calories and 11g sugar. Compared to their other fruit yoghurts that’s less sugar but 11g is still just under 3 teaspoons! Personally I would save them for an occasional treat… but how cool to wander into a shop and pick up an indulgent vegan dessert!

Have you spotted these already in other shops? If you’ve tried them already I’d love to know what you think.

Lots of love,
Chava

Photo shoot with Our Lizzy

A couple of months ago I had an incredible day shooting food with Lizzy Hughes from Our Lizzy Cookery School in Malvern.

Nestled on the foot of the stunning Malvern Hills in Worcestershire is a cookery school with a difference. Lizzy has converted her house into a wonderfully welcoming space where she teaches vegan cookery classes – from stunning Christmas centrepieces to Meals in Minutes, Mezze, Mexican dishes and just about everything in between.
Lizzy used to be a teacher and her patient, organised approach really shone through during our photo shoot. From the moment I walked through the door we had a great time working together! It was such good fun spending time with a fellow foodie, whilst discovering some of her go-to ingredients and favourite recipes.
I have never photographed so many dishes in a day and Lizzy, perfectly organised, had prepared an amazing spread. Tiramisu, truffles, cakes, falafel, curry, Christmas mains, pies, breakfasts… seriously, you wouldn’t believe all the things that kept appearing from fridges, freezers and store cupboards.

Lizzy and I were both delighted how beautifully all the photos came out and it’s so nice seeing them on the website already. Here’s just a very small selection from our day:

Imagine our scrumptious lunch break! I even got to take a selection of delicious goodies for dinner. (Perks of the job!)
If you’d like to find out more about Our Lizzy have a look at her website. Her courses would make a lovely gift for Valentine’s Day, a birthday or to treat yourself. If you don’t fancy driving home afterwards you could even make a mini break of it, stay at her B&B and sample an award winning breakfast the next day.  Lizzy really is a lovely, lovely lady and if you book on one of her courses please do tell me all about it! 🙂

Lots of love,
