For the past couple of weeks I’ve been making fresh juice for breakfast every morning. I really like it. Sure, it’s a small bit more time consuming than making a bit of toast or having a bowl of cereal, but I don’t think I’ll be looking back. Why? Because it actually seems to be working […]
I took the plunge about a week ago and ordered a yoghurt machine from Amazon.fr. Since yoghurts are popular in France there’s a much better choice of models (and prices) on French sites than on their Irish or UK counterparts.
