When is it officially too late to be making new years resolutions?  I’m not entirely sure but I can tell you that my nearest and dearest are still “resolving” for most of January.  So with ‘old family tradition’ to back me up in this final week of January 2010, my new year’s resolution is to gather the familial troops and walk a whole lot more.  Even if we go for one walk this year we’ll have increased our walk rate by more than 100%!  Well, I refuse to be such a sad statistic so I’m going to aim for a very reasonable two family walks a month.  And there’s nothing like a bit of exercise to stimulate appetites for a home-cooked meal on return – and you can be sure some recipe inspiration follows shortly dear readers!

If you’re reading this after Christmas whilst you await the New Year then welcome to Week 52 of 2009.  Cleaning, visiting relatives, thinking up ever inventive ways to use up the turkey leftovers, hitting the sales - what do you do in week 52?

This week can be a bit of a ‘dead week’, somewhat of an anticlimax after all the rushing around and excitement of Christmas. We’ve spent too much, eaten far too much and the sales aren’t what they used to be. With Christmas Day and New Years Day acting as the ultimate bookends, the intervening days are spent vacuuming up needles from the Christmas tree, worrying about how much weight we’ve put on and deciding on New Years resolutions.

It is official … Santa Claus loves Quorn

Well my six-year-old boy does, who, upon returning from school, has been dressing up in his Santa suit since the 1st December!  Last night’s sausage rolls were “brilliant and ace” … Quorn Sausage rolls of course, brushed with a little milk and browned in a medium oven.  We had them with mulled wine (and warm blackcurrant for ‘Santa’) as we put up the Christmas tree in front of our toasty fire.

Hi everyone - we’ve had lots of queries on where to find the Quorn Family Roast this Christmas.  The Quorn chicken-style family roast is available all year round in the freezer sections of Tesco, Morrisons, and the Co-Op. You’ll have to check with the store if they stock the product. If not, you may need to order it online. We hope this is helpful!

P.S. Some of you have asked about the Quorn vegetable roast but this has been discontinued.

Thanks for your interest - this competition has now closed and winners will be announced in February.

If you’ve ever watched TV chefs whipping up a storm in the kitchen and thought ‘I could do a better job with those ingredients’, well here’s your chance.

Our clever chefs have devised a list of ingredients for you to work with to come up with a tasty Quorn-based dish that takes no longer than 30 minutes to cook.

The winner will take home £50 worth of vouchers for Quorn products and two runners up will receive £20 of Quorn vouchers each.  The winning recipes will also be featured right here on our blog.

Simply email your recipe (and we’d love to see a pic of your scrumptious dish too – no files bigger than 2MB please) to blog@marlowfoods.com.

And with no further ado, herewith your list of ingredients and rules of the competition. MORE »

My Christmas Day with Quorn is fortunately not a solitary one, my husband and I are vegetarian and my mum will go along with whatever we take to cook at her place. But it’s supposed to be a treat for everyone, so I make sure I’ve got a traditional meat eater’s Christmas dinner ‘with all the trimmings’ (if someone else cooks it).  At 84 she’s not going to change, and she enjoys it. So that’s the easy bit.  We’ve been vegetarian for nearly 40 years, and the Christmas catering is always a challenge even though there’s only just the two of us.  MORE »
