My Lentil and Leftovers soup

I like to think of myself as pretty thrifty and like nothing more than making the most out of my shopping budget. I usually try and buy unpackaged veg to avoid waste but its getting increasingly harder to do as Im time poor and rely far to heavily on supermarket shopping.  This week has been a case in…

Review: Fritz Brighton
