    Re: Vegan washing up liquid, I use Bio D and buy it in 5 litre containers (take my container and refill it) from a local food co op - so I buy it approx once every year, also fabric conditioner.
  • For vegan WUL, I use this one from ASDA:

    And only 70p a bottle!

    Hi,

    I used to buy this in bulk also. Since moving to Preston its a matter of trying to find everything again. Despite lots more health food stores, they all seem to do ecover. I will keep looking and get a co-op to keep me going until I find either the clearspirng or bio-d.

    Thanks

    I haven't tried any recipes yet, but I do want to try some over the summer holidays. You can get the real book, but I think it was $19.99 (plus postage).

    I quite fancy making the doughnuts!

    Let us know how you get on. I will try some of the free recipes and then decide if I will get the book.

    Which ones were free?

    By the way, the Clearspring washing up liquid is made by Faith in Nature if that helps - I just checked on the bottle.

    I got 5 free recipes, followed by another for referring people and if 5 people sign up for the free recipes via my referal link, I will get 5 more. So far I have:
    Chocolate cupcakes
    Chocolate chip cookies
    Carrot cake
    Cinnamon buns
    Peanut brittle
    Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes

    2 people have signed up so far. If I get the 5 referrals, I will let you know what the other 5 are.

    As quite a few of the recipes require apple sauce I went out and bought a load of Bramleys which I'm going to cook and freeze in the required portion sizes. I can only assume that applesauce is something which is cheaply available ready-made in America.
