Zilli Green review

08 March 2010

Zilli Green, Soho London opened its doors in February 2010.  It didn’t take THV long to get in touch and offer our food review services.  Only in the name of research you know.  The restaurant PR man invited us for a meal – 6.30pm 8th March please kind sir. (more…)

Journey to becoming a vegan

15 February 2010

Until I was sixteen I ate meat, fish & dairy products. Then I had a chicken burger from a well known American outlet which had a lump of grisle in it. Eugh.  That couple with information from a couple of veggie friends was more than enough to turn me into a pescatarian. (more…)

Are you eating right?

10 February 2010

Every day we need to eat food to fuel our bodies, to help muscle repair and grow and for vitamins and minerals to keep us healthy.  There are soooo many diets to choose from, all based on different goals with various end results.  If we really are what we eat (which I believe to be true) what’s the best diet for our bodies?  How do we choose the right one for us?

Vegan cake fest

2 February 2010

Imagine walking into a room and seeing a table in the middle covered with cakes, muffins, cupcakes and a mixture of assorted confectionary.  You gasp, it looks sooooo very appetizing and you want to gobble it all up…  You walk over to the table dubiously, what are the chances of any of this feast being vegan?  Your eyes pop out of their sockets, literally, when you check the ingredients and its ALL vegan!!

Healthy eating

20 January 2010

This week I have been reading plant based nutrition and health by Stephen Walsh.  It is a fascinating book.  He compares consumption surveys from around the world and summarises the results and best food options.  As a result of his fine advice I have started taking a daily B complex and learned that I need to ground flax seeds before consumption and I am still only half way through it! (more…)

How cold is it out there?!  I have had so many layers on that if I fell on a hill I would roll all the way down to the bottom, like a rolly polly round thing.  I don’t know about you but the cold makes me want to eat comfort food. (more…)
