The soya icecream is a bit of an improvised recipe, but the scones are extremely simple.Basically its just your standard scone mix with grated carrot and cumin powder/seeds added

Im so used to making both that I tend to judge by eye rather than use scales now though so im not to good a passing on recipes

The scones are lovely with some soya marg, or dipped in soup.I also make butternut squash scones with a touch of cinnamon which are so scrummy! (I adapt a sue lawrence recipe)

Do you have any idea roughly how much carrot you would add to a batch of scones? 1 grated carrot for a batch that makes 8 scones? I have a feeling I'd add way too much and just have soggy orange blobs

Hi, it depends on personal taste really.I usually find one grated carrot is ample

Right did this the other week and it went really well - then didn't post and was all over the shop. Lesson learnt

Breakfasts: are banana muffin and yoghurt with a spoonful of jam.

Day / Lunch / Dinner

Monday: Sausage and lentil stew / Veg soup (hm)
Tuesday: out for lunch / at my grandmas
Weds: boiled egg and solders / veg soup
Thursday: cottage pie / veg soup
Friday: fishcakes and beans / risotto
Saturday: veg soup / hm pizza

ha ha can you see a pattern. I'm off on holiday soon so trying to shift a few pounds. (already lost 5 :j) so made a HUGE batch of veg soup which is nice an filling and low cal/fat. Normally I wouldn't mind - but I've got a bridesmaids dress to fit into :eek:. I like friends who pick warm places to get married in (well apart from the cost )

Could you share your veg soup recipe please? It must be nice to eat it so often, my veg soup has never looked or tasted remotely nice
