Vegan Sausage Rolls
Vegan Sausage Rolls often leave a lot to be desired as far as I’m concerned, both from a nutritional perspective as well as a taste/flavour perspective. Regularly crumbling and falling apart and frequently lacking flavour. Commercial vegan sausage rolls are often filled with fillers and binders, making them less attractive to a real food nutritionist like myself. The key thing … Read More
