I'm stuck in the middle you guys. I'm totally cool with the not eating meat or dairy products thing, but when it comes to soy I just don't know what to do. Some people say soy is bad for you, some people say it's great for you. Some say tofu and soy milk are highly processed therefore dangerous, but others say they're great sources of protein that everyone, regardless of vegan status, should be eating them.

The greasy, mushy, bland memories of vegetable Lo Meins past haunt me. Therefore, Lo Mein is definitely the last thing I would ever order at a Chinese restaurant, no matter how many people swear it's really good here/there. But in my own kitchen, it's a different story. I get to be in charge, so no buckets of oil, over cooked noodles or red bell peppers in sight! (You can add red peppers if you really want, just don't invite me over for dinner that night.)

The Fourth of July is upon us. Fireworks and festivities await. But what are you going to eat? Do you have something celebration appropriate swimming around in your brain yet? No?!Well whoa there! That salad looks pretty patriotic, don't you think? You got your red, your white, your blue. You got your watermelon summertime vibe. All the essential Fourth of July components are present. And it's vegan, just like our founding fathers!*

You know when you have to write a recipe and the deadline is fast approaching, and you've got nothing because all you want to eat is candy and rice cakes? And that candy is store bought and it would be totally unethical to make up a recipe, like you made it? And doing a rice cake recipe is insane? And you start to panic a little?

While drinking flowers may not sound all that appealing, elderflower cocktails have certainly proved popular this year, and now violets are hoping to achieve the same status. The Bitter Truth have created a Violet Liqueur, which has a bit of sweetness to its floral taste, and has a lovely, purple-blue colour.

Macarons have never quite reached cupcake levels of fame and popularity. They are the baking world's P.J. Harvey - shrouded in gilded obscurity and complexity; whilst the cupcakes/Kylie are off pleasing the masses with their naughty sweetness.You can't pick up a macaron at the corner shop. You can't get them from the chiller cabinet at the supermarket. You can't buy a "just add egg" instant mix to make macarons in 30 minutes.

I get stuck in the same boring breakfast loop because cereal is "quick" and "easy." As if pouring pre-made food stuffs into a bowl is all I can muster before 8am. OK, maybe that's true. But an exciting (and more nutritional) breakfast doesn't have to be that hard! Especially when you can make it over the weekend and store it in the fridge to eat all week long.

This summer, BitchBuzz and Marie Curie Cancer Care have teamed up, and are inviting you to throw a Blooming Great Tea Party to raise money for a great cause. It can be anything from a fabulous vintage-inspired high tea with the girls, to a garden tea party with the family, to a simple tea run and cakes in the office with colleagues. However you choose to do it, it’s a great way to get together with friends and family and do something fun for charity.

With Memorial Day behind us, it's unofficially summer and I declare this the summer of ice pops. First up in my bag of ice pop tricks is the classic fudgesicle. Only, this one is made without palm oil, high fructose corn syrup and guar gum (sorry guar gum fans). Instead we're making these with with bananas, which don't add a huge flavor, but do add a great creamy texture and natural sweetness.

I hope you guys had a good Memorial Day/Bank Holiday/regular weekend. It was, umm, a billion degrees here in New York and my air conditioner broke! After standing directly in front of a fan for two days I had visions (or hallucinations or whatever) about a nice cool lemonade. And there's nothing cooler than a cucumber, right?
