The FastDay Forum

Thanks Dhana, so pleased you like them. Just got back from sevilla and i'm full of inspiration so watch this space for more : )

And thanks for the heads up on the temparatures Tompan, I'll be sure to include conversions from now on!

Jac, at tinned tomatoes has a good pinboard of veggie recipes for the 5:2 diet, including a lot of her own and some of mine

Ah! This is a good source of inspiration I'm not a vegetarian, but a student, so while I'd love to base my fast days around a big lump of protein like chicken breast or fish, I'd quickly go broke on that system! I tend to defrost one item of meat from my stockpile a week and make it last for 2 dinners, so I'd rather save those for a feast day. Unfortunately I tend to fall short on some of the fancier items on the ingredients list of a lot of veggie recipes too (I don't have room in my cupboard for polenta and quinoa and 5 types of vinegar), but I'm sure there'll be some thrifty inspiration in these links too Thanks, folks!

Just in case the OP is still lurking:
