Vegan Non Dairy Ice Creamfoodheaven_vanilla

A vanilla flavour non dairy iced dessert from Food Heaven.   I am pretty sure this brand is connected to Swedish Glace, one of the oldest vegan ice cream brands in the UK.

To be honest I have not had Swedish Glace vanilla ice cream for well over a year,  but this is what this ice cream reminded me of.  Very similar flavour.  The ice cream is smooth and creamy with a pleasant vanilla flavour.  It is quite sweet just like Swedish Glace.  I would prefer it to be sweetened with agave or something a bit less processed than sugar.  The ice cream is quite good and is ideal as a dessert on its own or with a nice bit of cake.

Fragata Spanish Black Olives

Vegan Olivesfragata_pitted

A large jar of Spanish pitted black olives from Fragata.   I use olives all the time in meals and especially on top of pizzas.

The olives are really quite good.  I like to slice them up and put on top of home made pizza,  the only problem is the waste as I cannot eat them before they go off.  So I tried an experiment,  I drained the jar and patted them with some kitchen towel and then I froze them.  It worked a treat,  now I can just grab a few and use them as and when I need them.  These olives work great in risottos, stews and whatever else you like olives in.  The olives are a good size too.
