It is totally true that we, in the UK, really do love to talk about the weather. I think that is mostly because it is so blooming varied and interesting. Hands up if the skies turned red, the birds started squawking and day turned to night earlier this week!?!? Totally weird – I did just wonder for a moment if the world was about to end. Weird, weird, weird. Another hurricane tail-end arrived this weekend… Anyway, you are well and we get a little bit of settled, appropriate weather, soon.

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

This week’s new recipes are Vietnamese inspired and two of my current favourites!!!

(Just in case you didn’t know this month is all about Vietnamese inspired food – one of my favourite cuisines to inspire my gluten-free, vegan cooking and eating).

Less of a recipe more of a way of life… Toasted Rice Topping is great on almost anything but especially fabulous on top of anything with tofu in and really, really wonderful on crispy salads. I keep a jar in the fridge and have it on top of most of my meals! It makes me happy!
 

If you are looking for inspiration for what you could sprinkle Toasted Rice Topping on look no further than one of my favourite meals: Salt and Pepper Tofu. This was my favourite meal in a Vietnamese cafe I used to go in (a lot!). I couldn’t go to the cafe anymore (I moved home!) so I worked out how to make it myself. I could not be happier!!! Great as a starter or a main – with salad, with rice (or with both).
