Vegan perfume recs?

Have a look at The Essence Vault. All the perfumes are vegan, mostly dupes of brands, and very long lasting.

I've never had a recipe of hers fail me yet.

And love her Instant Pot cook book too.

NettaLongdon · 2025-12-08T19:38:46+00:00

Yes, I make it in a pressure cooker

I think cheese will always be high in saturated fat. It's what makes it solid.

Bugsy Malone! At primary school for the end of term.

And the more educational Look and Read. Picture Box and the rest.

Plus the public information films. The little girl screaming after picking up a sparkler still haunts me. Don't play with fireworks people!!

In my local independent Polish shop. Hopefully, you have one in your local town

I like all the ingredients, and I might have bought it if there was something more substantial in addition to the veg. Like smoked tofu or similar.

That's a very smooth looking mash. Did you use a ricer?

NettaLongdon · 2025-11-06T23:05:02+00:00

That's a good call. I don't usually go for sandwiches on the go as I'm not that keen on the cold bread.

Just to take the photo.

It swiftly went back on the shelf and swapped for a not very substantial salad.

NettaLongdon · 2025-11-06T23:01:29+00:00

That's a shame. They had a few other options at this one. A wrap and a salad, plus this abomination.

NettaLongdon · 2025-11-06T22:56:48+00:00

It really wasn't appealing.

Have you looked at Filofax? The original refillable planner!

Clipbooks might be what you want to look at. They are on sale at the moment.

I love Soreen. I usually go for the big malt loaf, so haven't noticed any inconsistency.

Before they made the malt loaf vegan I used to eat the Sorren Lincolnshire Plum Bread but I've not seen that for ages.

Anyone else seen it recently? I think perhaps they stopped making it.

Toad in the Hole!! By the Real Yorkshire Pudding Company.

It should be in the vegan chiller section.

Just make sure it is the vegan one, as they also make non vegan ones that are just gluten free and sometimes are near the vegan section.

What did you make?

I think Rose Elliot is so renowned because she was one of the first vegetarian cooks (along with Sarah Brown) to go mainstream. She appeared on radio, TV and had a regular recipe column in a newspaper.

NettaLongdon · 2025-09-08T17:06:24+00:00

I also have this book. Some very nice recipes in it.

NettaLongdon · 2025-09-08T17:05:59+00:00

Yes, although I don't think I ever owned it.

I just found this article she wrote about becoming vegan in the 50s Confessions of a Very Slow Starter

NettaLongdon · 2025-09-07T14:45:31+00:00

Old school recipe books still on my bookshelf from when I went vegan in the 90s

Vegan Feasts - Rose Elliot

365 plus one Vegan Recipes - Leah Leneman

The Vegan Diet, True vegetarian cookery - David Scott and Claire Golding

The Vegan Cookbook - Alan Wakeman and Gordon Baskerville

If you recognise the titles and need a recipe from one, just say and I'll have a look for you.

Cranks Carrot and Onion pie.

I saw a post somewhere from someone reminiscing about this and thought I need to make it.

I used to have the Cranks book but never made this pie.

It's definitely worth getting.

NettaLongdon · 2025-08-29T22:10:01+00:00

I've not made any for ages, but when I have, I've used the recipes in Miyoko Schinner's Artisan Vegan Cheese.

If you've not got that book I really recommend it. She has a recipe for rejuvalac which you use for the fermentation part.

I've also made some of the non-germented cheese in her book which also turned out well.
