This weekend is bank holiday weekend in the UK. A three day weekend! Wayhay!!! What are you up to? I’m camping in the beautiful British countryside and swimming in the sea (whatever the weather). 🙂 

Last weekend we had an unexpected treat when we went to visit friends and we sailed over to the the Isle of Wight for the weekend (see my Instagram post for some pics). We learned to paddle-board whilst we were there too. Paddle-boarding is something I have wanted to do for a long, long time. It wasn’t as hard as it looks – but if you have a low centre of gravity and strong legs you have a great advantage in many sports! 😉 

New and exclusive Gluten-Free | Vegan | Allergy-Friendly | Seasonal recipes this week on FriFran…

This week I shared two new summer recipes that epitomise a British summer.

A few years ago the only thing I missed (and even then only a little bit) as a vegan was meringue. Who knew that you would be able to make Gluten-Free | Vegan | Allergy-Friendly | Seasonal Strawberry and Raspberry Eaton Mess? It is every bit as good as ‘normal’ Eton Mess – actually probably better! 🙂 I adore it as a special summer pudding (like as a treat for your birthday).

I also shared another summer favourite – Summer Fruit Cordial made with fresh seasonal, summer berries. Gluten-Free | Vegan | Allergy-Friendly | Seasonal Summer Fruit Cordial is perfect as a long cool drink with ice and sparkling water, as a cocktail mixer or drizzled over sorbet or Lavender Ice Cream…
