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.

Review: Tesco "free from" ginger cookies (with gluten-free oat flour) wheat, dairy and gluten free

Tesco "free from" ginger cookies  http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=268624669 Hello everyone! Winter is here and it's been snowing in Norfolk - as well as in the rest of the U.K.  This is the time when all the resolutions of eating only fresh, nutritious food, raw and healthy, disappear at the same speed that the outside temperature decreases. Two weeks ago I decided to go wheat free - just like that - or cold turkey, someone would rather say more idiomatically. Anyway, after reading the first 90 pages of The Wheat Belly recipe book by Dr. Davies, anybody with a brain will start wondering if wheat is such a healthy food after all. This is not to say that Dr. Davies is 100% correct in his assumption, but let's discuss this in another post - suffice to say that in the middle of January, when most people enjoy wheat-based dishes such as pasta, bread, pasties, cakes etc. I suddenly decided to see if I would...

The pirate drawing!

I love how Marie has coloured my pirate. Such a cute choice of pastel colours. Who on earth said that pirates must wear just black and earth colours! This is great! Brava!

How to beat cold sores

How to beat cold sores (If you don't want to know about cold sores, and just want the therapy, scroll all the way down) If you have ever suffered with cold sores, (herpes simplex virus -HSV- type 1)  you know how annoying they are: first, the redness, then the tingling, the crust, not to mention the pain and the insult of the ugly scab, all this lasting for about two weeks. I suffered from cold sores in my twenties and thirties, but fortunately they all but disappeared by the time I was about 35. Hurrah! I was finally free from this horrible problem. UNTIL - I was 39 weeks pregnant with my daughter and a student visited me with a baby who had chicken pox (but nobody knew until the day after she visited me). Terrified, my students duly informed me and apologised profusely for letting me have contact with chicken pox - which as most people know, can cause fatal damage and problems in pregnancy. Now, I had alr...
