Food review: Violife vegan cheese (The best tasting vegan cheese I have ever tried!)

Good afternoon!

Today we went to Tesco and for some reason we wandered in the dairy free, or 'Free From' as they call it, department…and lo and behold…there was a new vegan cheese there.

A bit pricey but tempting…I bought all three types, block, slices and spreadable. (They are around £2.45 per pack).

We tried the sliced cheese for lunch. Mamma mia!

These are the BEST ever vegan cheese slices we've tried. Thumbs up from all the family at the first bite!

Here is their website address:

This cheese looks like real cheese, has the same texture and taste (mild and not salty) and is completely different from the other Free From cheese that Tesco stocks. I read some review in vegan websites and it has five stars - it even melts as the temperature of traditional cheese.

Here are the ingredients for all of you health conscious fellas!

VioLife Creamy (spreadable)

Water, coconut oil 24%, starch, modified starch, sea salt, stabilisers, vegan flavours, lactic acid. Preservative: sorbic acid. Colours: Titanium dioxide, beta carotene.

Please note that some people prefer not to eat Titanium dioxide (which is present in many foods, in toothpaste etc) because they don't think it's healthy.

Violife original (slices) and block

Water, coconut oil 24%, starch, modified starch, sea salt, stabilisers, vegan flavours, polyphenols.

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel - and fighting rabbits! (video included)

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel I'm having great fun in my 12.5 mt long polytunnel. Not only I get to see my plants thrive in almost 39C during sunny days, but I fight some cute rabbits every day as they dig under the doors and destroy my cauliflower and boccoli plants! I'm not a professional gardener or photographer, but I hope you will enjoy my basic photos of plant life in the hottest spot of my garden. You will also see that we captured a baby rabbit who was guilty of untold damage and a then we released it (he was sooo cuddly!) But 2 weeks later, we caught him again and this time we released it in a park nearby (full of other rabbits, water etc) so he can eat plenty of produce - just not ours! A video is available on the bottom of this page. The first night we moved the strawberries outdoors, they were not protected, and the morning after the rabbits had eaten most of the plants - leaves and all! Needless to say, we rushed to build a protected U-shap
