5 Minute Food Fix

I'm always interested in finding a delicious meal that includes vegetarians, vegans and those with allergies. KFC - Korean Fried Cauliflower - is super delicious! My version has chilli, which means it *can* exclude little kids, but it's easy to leave that bit out if you remember to! Yoggurt count? = 3!! 🙌 Want more food tips?

Simon is wild about BACON JAM 😳 at the moment while Yumi is dancing a waltz with WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR. And since we're talking condiments, you'd probably never guess that an Englishman not only likes Worcestershire Sauce, but also knows how to pronounce "Worcestershire sauce".

Yumi's friend once pitched a TV show called 'Can't Boil An Egg' - a way of explaining a cooking show for total non-cooks. Did he have a premonition of the 5 Minute Food Fix? Quite possibly!

And I apologise in...
