ilumi Vegetable Chickpea Jalfrezi Review

Illumi is a great new brand which is always dairy & gluten free - guaranteed ! The vegetable & chickpea jalfrezi is one of the best things I've had in ages ! Due to me needing extra protein in my diet for the weight training I've been doing I added an extra can of chick peas to this. 

It was really nice to have something different, but something I knew was safe to eat too , as I'm not normally keen on getting bought in things ! 

If you like slightly spicey / medium spicey foods you will love this , you could if you wanted to - add a batch of rice to it or some tapas style nibbles and have a " share for two" romantic meal . 

It was unusual and excellent quality - similar to something you'd have in a good restaurant at a fraction of the price . 

I've been telling all my allergy patients about it at work as I really do love this delicious range of food ! 







(* Ilumi sent me this as a trial ,  to test to give my patients at work an honest opinion - this opinion is my own , I have not been paid ) 

Easy simple Vegan Chocolate Chip cookie recipe . ( dairy egg soya free ) | UK Vegan Food / Parenting Blog

I wanted to make Opeie something as a treat , he doesn't have any biscuits/ snack foods in his diet really , as I try not to buy things that are pre made.

The ingredients I used were:

Allison's Wholemeal Self Raising Flour . 12oz /
Brown sugar 8oz / 1 cup
Pure dairy soya free spread. 1 cup / 8oz
Moo Free chocolate ( about 1/5 of a bar ) / 20g
Pinch of fine rock salt

I mixed the sugar and flour together for a minute in a large bowl.


When the butter is really soft - but not runny , add the it gradually to form a soft dough , I make mine in a freestanding mixer as I'm quite lazy when it comes to baking! 

If the mixture is quite loose & crumbly, add a tablespoon of Pure Spread , to get it to a solid dough consistency .

Chop the Moo Free chocolate into small chunks . Mix into the cookie dough .


Place baking paper on a sheet , and pat dough into small balls , pressing down slightly .

Place in oven on a medium shelf for 15 mins . And enjoy vegan / dairy egg soya free chocolate chip cookies!




The Verdict?  Opeie LOVED them! I wrapped them up individually in cling wrap, and popped them in a old sweetie jar on the side, they lasted for about 3 days.   ( They went slightly soft, because they were home made, but they were lovely all the same! )
