Cauldron Falafels

I really like Cauldron products and for one reason or another I decided to look around their others because, er, I'd only tried one in the past. Falafel was one that intrigued me because apparently they are a popular fast food but they are also really healthy. I really liked the idea of them in pitta bread, so I got a packet along with said pitta bread. First night I had them with baked beans, peas and pitta bread. Unfortunately, I am incredibly stupid and had not figured out that you're meant to cut the pitta bread to get the pocket, so I settled for a measly fold over thing which wasn't so successful. Anyway, the falafel were gorgeous! I have to be honest ...  Read the complete review

Falafel are a very lovely chickpea based foodstuff that we discovered upon holidaying in Egypt, it is often referred to as the fast food of the middle east, and with good reason to. I had a couple of falafel experiences in Egypt and in Israel. It was often served in pitta bread, and accompanied by salad and chips and it is a fab meal, we couldn't get enough whilst we were away on holiday.

Cauldron are not only a great vegetarian food company but they also use organic and soil association ingredients and are free from GM ingredients too! To top that, they also use packaging that is made from recycled materials (and can be recycled after use too). So for me they totally pass the ethical test and the taste one too and for around £1.50 for 8, they are a real bargain (serves 2 if you are having them in a pitta). You can eat these cold (although the packaging doesn't recommend it) or you can cook them in the oven to warm they. They don't take very long at all (190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5 and cook for 10-12 minutes) so they are great as a healthy fast food. ...  Read the complete review

As a vegetarian I am always on the look out for something different or new. Every product I have tried in the Cauldron range has been tasty, and although they are a bit more pricey than some other meat free brands, well worth the money. I have bought a packet mix and made my own falafel before, but it was a bit of a disaster! These cost £1.89 for 8, but are of a much better quality than others I have tried. In addition they are made from organic ingredients, are GM free and the packaging is recycled/recyclable which is a bonus and a step in the right direction for all of us. Falafel are a middle eastern food, small balls made from a mixture of chick ...  Read the complete review
