Whilst all of us would claim to not to want to harm a fly it is easy to forget the real harm these pests cause us. Each fly carries over three million bacteria and is responsible for transmitting around 65 documented diseases. The pain and discomfort caused by these prolific creatures far out ways any argument to the contrary, left to breed unchecked the effects can be catastrophic with each female producing over 500 offspring. To make matters worse flies are attracted by human perspiration which is the reason why the will constantly buzz around you. However, just as dangerous as the house fly or stable fly are the horrendous household pesticides we use to control them. Fly sprays are very dangerous poisons, the effects of these poisons on our health are incalculable. Most fly sprays contain Dichlorvos, a known carcinogenic and many use dangerous heavy metals such as mercury and lead. In fact household fly sprays are so dangerous it is amazing that they are still sold. You coul...

All the nasty fragrances that hang around in your home cling to the fabric. Tiny smell molecules get trapped in curtains, carpets, blinds and upholstery where they continue to release their odious odour for hours or even days. Commercial deodorisers, despite all claims to the contrary, just mask these trapped smells adding a layer of chemicals to the mix. What is most disturbing is that manufacturers need not list many of the chemicals that are in their ‘deodorisers’; as under one broad umbrella they simply need to state that their product contains ‘fragrance’ - which could mean the inclusion of over 600 petrochemicals; nasty toxins which do far more damage than the innocent smell molecules. Mrs White’s Breath of Fresh Air is the perfect solution to the smells that linger problem. Containing Lemongrass which is a natural deodoriser and disinfectant and Patchouli (also a natural deodoriser – millions of hippies could not be wrong!) a couple of spritz and that morning after aroma, ...

7 Quick, Easy & Healthy Meals for 2 that Fit into 1 Shopper Back in 2007 local campaigners SNUB (Say No to Unwanted Bags) got the whole country thinking about the unnecessary number of bags consumers accept every year. Almost 3 years on and the issue has gone global.  Not only are we now saying ‘No’ to unwanted bags, we are saying ‘Yes’ to shopping locally. The benefits for all cannot be underestimated; fresh seasonal food, less waste, a buoyant local economy and an improved sense of community. I could see all the plusses, but what about the downsides? Not always knowing what to make and struggling round the shops laden down is no pleasure at all. I set myself a challenge, a week’s menu for two that would easily fit into one SNUB shopper and guess what? I bagged it!  Monday: cut an aubergine into quite thick slices, coat with olive oil and grill. Once brown top two slices with feta cheese and serve in brown bread rolls with organic ready prepared salad fr...

Roullier White's So Simple Vegetable Sizzler Recipe. This vegetable dish is a favourite of mine whilst travelling in India. It is delicious in the summer especially eatten outside as the sun is going down. The spectacle of the Sizzlers sizzling as you bring them to the table will thrill your guests. There are many much more complicated versions of this recipe, however, I have parred it down after experimenting at home. This one works really well, is very quick and easy and everyone adores it. In a hot oven preheat your Roullier White's Lodge Logic individual cast iron skillets with a little butter in the bottom of each. The oven should be on around 200° and they will probably need to be in for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile take a selection of seasonal vegetables and chop in bite size chunks. Remember to cut harder vegetables that take longer to cook into smaller pieces than softer ones. Take a tablespoon of your favourite curry paste and dilute with a little mel...

Roullier White Iced Tea Recipe Place 4 organic white tea bags in your Bodum ice tea maker pour over water that has cooled for a couple of minutes after boiling.

As mentioned previously by us the biggest 'undeclared' additives in household cleaning agents are 'fragrances.' The manufacturer is obliged to list only the inclusion of 'fragrances' on the product packaging and with these use of clever marketing can imply that these 'fragrances' are natural, derived from plants or flowers. In fact, one fragrance can contain over 600 petrochemicals. These chemicals can have many serious side effects including eczema, headaches and migraines. No other products are fragrance d more highly than commercially produced laundry products. The reason why these products are so heavily scented? Fresh smelling washing? No. To mask the pungent chemicals that are used. The chemicals and toxins in laundry products have considerably more opportunities to be absorbed by our bodies than most other household cleaning agents, most of which, however, have equally sinister contents. During use they often come into direct contact with the ...
