One dish I love to make (as it is so quick and easy) is insalata caprese which I have adored since childhood and even now I can't get it to taste quite the same like my nonna (grandmother in Italian!) can. Whenever we have friends round I always tend to make it as a dish we can just snack on before the starter or as a starter. Currently I am trying to save the pennies as like most people and finding cheaper alternatives to products I would usually buy is great as long as they taste great! I'm currently going through the Tesco Value range and yes some items have been hit and miss. In their value range Tesco do mozzarella which for me was a great find as I tend ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Value Mozzarella Description: Manufacturer: Tesco / Type: Cheese Those who have read some of my earlier reviews (thank you so much, I really appreciate all reads, rates and coments!) will know that like so many of us, I ate and drink too much over the festive season and as a result, have spent the last few months trying to eat healthily in order to lose a few pounds and also, feel less sluggish.

All you need is a homemade pizza base, which is really easy to make - flour, yeast, a little seasoning and water, then a wait for the yeast to act and the dought to rise - no harm in cheating though and ...  Read the complete review

I do a lot of cooking and it's just unfortunate that I am on quite a tight budget at the moment so need to try and save pennies wherever possible whilst still enjoying what I cook and subsequently eat. I spotted this Tesco value mozzarella in the fridge section at my local Tesco store and at just 45p for a 125g packet I decided to put some in my basket and give it a try out that evening when cooking spaghetti Bolognese and I used the mozzarella for putting inside a home cooked baguette and adding garlic butter to create my own at home garlic bread. The mozzarella is provided in a white plastic bag which has the familiar Tesco value logo on it and ...  Read the complete review
