]]> Across the pond, Walkers is one of the leading potato chip brands. Of course, over there, they’re called “crisps.” These are some of the most unusual flavors you can get if you ever head to England.

Roast Chicken

Walkers offer a lot of meat-inspired chips. Roast chicken is one of the most popular flavors and according to reviewers, they actually taste like the real thing.

 BBQ Pulled Pork Crisps

Walkers holds the “Do Us a Flavour” competition ever year. Fans can submit their ideas for a new flavor chip. Pulled pork won one year and even though it sounds strange, people love it.

Prawn Cocktail

Believe it or not, prawn cocktail is a staple flavor across the pond. Most assortment packs come with this flavor included, side by side with salt and vinegar, and cheese and onion.

Worcester Sauce Crisps

Worcester sauce is a quintessential British flavor. It goes well with meat and veg, and apparently also as a potato chip flavor.

Sausage Roll Flavor

The most recent addition to the Walkers inventory is sausage roll flavor chips. To be honest, that’s something we can get behind. After all, who doesn’t love a sausage roll?

]]> Stir fries are a quick and easy answer to a tasty meal that provides high nutrients and great flavors. Instead of sticking to rice or noodles with veg, add some of these vegan protein sources to your stir fry for a more nutritious fix.

Lentils

Lentils are a fantastic source of plant-based protein. Lentils also contain high fiber with just one cup providing 50% of your daily fiber needs.

Spirulina

Spirulina is an algae turned superfood. Just a couple of tablespoons of spirulina will provide you with 8 grams of protein. Even if you don’t like the taste, it’s easy to hide in soy sauce and spices!

Tofu or Tempeh

Tofu and tempeh are both made from soybeans. Soy is high in protein and contains essential amino acids. For the best tofu-based dish, make sure you marinate your tofu overnight before you add it to your meal.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas work great in a stir fry and even better in a curry. If you are not a fan, why not make hummus?

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are high in protein and fiber too. They can be easily sprinkled on a stir fry for a crunchy and delicious finish.

]]> Tofu is a great alternative to meat. It is high in protein and when it is cooked properly, it is delicious. If you are fed up with soggy, squishy tofu, follow these steps to create crispy tofu that becomes the star of the meal.

Drain The Tofu

Make sure you properly drain the tofu before you cook it. Put your tofu on a plate and then press on it firmly using a few sheets of kitchen paper. For maximum impact, place a chopping board on top of the tofu and leave to drain for twenty minutes.

Prepare Your Ingredients

Next, mix cornflour together with a little salt, pepper and garlic. Chop your tofu into small cubes or strips.

Coat Your Tofu

Coat the tofu in the cornflour. Heat a non-stick frying pan with oil. Fry the tofu on each side until it is golden around the edges. Do your best to cook evenly on each side.

Season and Serve

Season with a little soy sauce or chili to serve. Tofu is best served with sticky rice in a tasty teriyaki sauce.

]]> Poached eggs make for a delicious, high-protein brunch. Poaching an egg is easy but poaching an egg neatly requires a little practice. Here is a foolproof guide to cooking the perfect boiled egg.

Use Fresh Free Range Eggs

Fresh eggs have a thicker white which will make the eggs set easier in the middle. Free-range eggs are tastier and higher quality in general.

Crack Into a Bowl

Instead of cracking your egg straight into boiling water, crack your egg into a bowl first. This makes it easier to slide into the pan.

Was a little surprised how rich and orange they are as it’s my first time trying them😍🧡🧡 If you want to know how I poach eggs, see below 👇🏻 Poached eggs: 1. Bring a pot of water to boil and reduce to simmer 2. Add 1 tbsp of white vinegar (optional but I find this helps with holding shape) 3. Crack an egg into a ramiken or small bowl 4. Create whirlpool in the pot and drop the in the egg into the centre 5. Time egg for 3 minutes and serve, guaranteed runny eggs, add more time if you like them firmer. Tip: make sure you use fresh eggs to get the best results. __ 📸 All rights, titles and interest in these images and text remain with @yummy_umami ❌ Please no reposting before asking permission . . #homecook #homemade #homecooking #feedfeed #yolkporn #egg #egglover #eggsbenedict #eggsroyale #salmonbenedict #sockeyesalmon #homecooked #breakfast #brunch #onthetable #poachedeggs #foodporn #benedict #foodphotography #f52grams #easyrecipes #britainsbesthomecooks_ #clarencecourt

Boil The Water

Fill your pan about halfway with water and boil. When the water starts to boil, bring it down into a simmer. Stir the water to create a whirlpool effect prior to adding your egg to the pan.

Tip The Egg In The Pan

Next, tip the egg slowly into the pan. Keep the heat low and cook for three minutes or until the egg white is set.

Carefully Lift Out The Egg

To remove the egg from the pan, use a slotted spoon to gently lift the egg. Add salt and pepper to taste and voila, you have the perfect poached egg!

You are also probably aware that getting your restaurant classed as a “Michelin Star restaurant” is a big deal and eating at a Michelin Star restaurant is a big treat. But what exactly is Michelin Star and what makes these restaurants so special?

Who Are The Michelin Reviewers?

Michelin reviewers are carefully selected by the Michelin tier company. They must have an exceptional eye for detail and must be able to blend in at a restaurant. It is important that the evaluation process is done anonymously.

For a star to be awarded, all the reviewers must come together to discuss their experiences and decided which restaurants are truly worthy of the elite Michelin star.

“The MICHELIN Guide inspectors and I have just learned with great sadness of the passing of Pierre Troisgros at the age of 92. An emblematic figure of the great French cuisine, Pierre Troigros was one of those chefs whose name has become an international reference in gastronomy. A precursor of Nouvelle Cuisine, Pierre Troigros took over the reins of the family establishment in Roanne in 1954 with his brother Jean. The restaurant has shone for 52 years with three stars in the MICHELIN Guide. Within this house, Pierre embodied the transmission and innovation that has always permeated the kitchens of the establishment. My most sincere and affectionate thoughts go out to the teams and to the family of Pierre Troisgros, especially his sons Michel and Claude and grandsons César, Léo and Thomas, who, at the head of the family restaurants in France and Brazil, are now working to cultivate an incredibly rich culinary heritage.

Michelin Star Ratings

Michelin stars are awarded on a scale of 0 to 3 by anonymous Michelin reviewers. The reviews are solely based on the food. Decor, ambiance, and all non-food related factors are not taken into account.

These are the official measures of what earning a Michelin Star means.

One Star: A good place to stop on your journey, indicating a very good restaurant in its category, offering cuisine prepared to a consistently high standard.

Two Stars: A restaurant worth a detour, indicating excellent cuisine and skillfully and carefully crafted dishes of outstanding quality

Three Stars: A restaurant worth a special journey, indicating exceptional cuisine where diners eat extremely well, often superbly. Distinctive dishes are precisely executed, using superlative ingredients.

Due to the strict criteria for earning stars, very few restaurants achieve the honor of earning one, let alone three, Michelin stars. And that’s what makes receiving Michelin star status so special.
