COOKING CLUB'S BIG BREAKFAST

After many  chats (usually whilst chopping the veg) about the importance of a healthy, hearty breakfast to all aspects of our well-being - the group decide to make a vegetarian version of the traditional "British/Irish" big breakfast. 
We substitute bacon/sausages with the large Portobello Mushrooms - braised whole in the oven for succulent, "savoury fleshiness".
Instead of chips or fried brownies, we will make a Bubble 'n Squeak to introduce greens such as spinach, kale or cabbage.
We will make our own baked beans so we can exclude sugar and excessive salt from the sauce and therefore include people with diabetes and high blood pressure.
The group were given the choice of having  scrambled or poached eggs instead of fried and they opted for scrambled......we usually serve meals to a lot of CoolTan users so scrambled eggs will go further.
Our regular favourite, soda bread was voted for. It's so quick and easy to make fresh and very delicious.
To add some vitamin C.....and keep calories down, we decide to make our own fresh orange and mint juice.  
We will be posting up recipe methods in pictorial form so they will be very clear to follow.
