I have been taking Ferroglobin for some time, but I stopped after reading that excess iron was bad.


I am having frequent blood tests at the moment so hopefully anything amiss would be picked up.

Thanks that's useful. Also thanks Cella.


Now, white miso paste. Never even heard of it. I have some other miso. Where can I get white miso? It seems to be in a lot of the How Not To Die recipes.

The Co-op on Lordship Lane had it today.


Also M&S had what they call super firm tofu with their Plant Kitchen range.


I bought both of them to try :)

Yes, I've recently discovered these! I got them in Health Matters.


The How Not To Die cookbook has lots of recipes using them!

Fresh turmeric: you can ask the veggies shops in Lordship Lane, somebody surely has it as I found it few years ago but I can't remember exactly which one.


Chickpeas (legume) are a very good source of proteins too btw, and also (roasted / dried) a delicious snack to alternate with walnuts, pistachios or other nuts.

A veggie diet doesn't have to be boring when approached with a little imagination.


Most vegetables can be oven-roasted, grilled or stir-fried, even things like parsnips, carrots, spring onions, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, collard greens, pak choi, onions, tomatoes, courgettes and cabbage. Most boiled veggies can be mashed together in interesting combinations with and without beans/pulses then shaped into cakes and fried or grilled. Don't forget sweet potatoes, yam, cassava (yuca) and taro. And aubergines and mushrooms. Most fruits can be roasted or grilled and included in a veggie meal, too; plantain, apples, apricots, plums, etc. Nuts. Dried fruits. The possibilities are endless ? no fancy cookbooks required.

Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook Eastern Vegetarian Cooking is really good, I have an old copy that I use for a lot of inspiration when I'm like, what the heck should I do with this brocolli/cabbage/bag of carrots???


I think you can get fresh turmeric from Village Grocer on Bellenden Rd (the one that used to be called Payless).

What on earth is a plant based diet? Who on earth coined this phrase??


I decided not to eat meat, fish and sea food a long time ago. That is a choice. Do I hate labels.


PS Linda Mc stuff in dreadful. And Quorn - a distant relative of athletes' foot, has changed its constituents, for the worse, in recent times. No excuse for loading it with salt.

An ex partner put me off Quorn for life, she used to shudder and say fungus. claimed to have seen some gross info online!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
