Set one decay-de after the events of the first film, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP finds Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), and Wichita (Emma
Stone) working together as a well-oiled, zombie-killing machine with a new home in the now-vacant White House. These four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have
evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they must face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.
In addition to the film’s on-screen reunion, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP brings back several fan-favorites behind the camera as well. Director Ruben Fleischer returns to the Zombieland universe after the blockbuster debut of Venom in 2018, directing a script penned by original Zombieland screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, in addition to Dave Callaham, solidifying ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP as an event ten years in the making.
Blu-ray™ bonus exclusive materials for ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP include extended bloopers and outtakes, alternative and extended scenes and along with the DVD also includes an audio commentary by Ruben Fleischer and more!

This year your pancakes need Maple Syrup.

Juliet’s vegan pancake recipe can be topped with either of Billington’s newly launched Canadian maple syrups. The Amber syrup, carries smooth, buttery caramel notes, whilst the Very Dark syrup holds a flavour that is bold, yet sophisticated, with more intense caramel overtones. If you’d like to sample Billington’s Maple Syrup, select press samples are available.

Savoury Oat Pancakes Stack with Avo, Beets & Feta
Makes: 6 pancakes
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Difficulty Level: Easy-Medium
You’ll need:
100g Flahavan’s Organic Porridge Oats
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
100ml oat milk
1 free-range egg
1 tsp rapeseed oil
1/2 Avocado
1 small cooked beetroot
20g feta cheese
1 fried egg
1 handful chopped parsley
Extra virgin olive oil
Method:
Put the Flahavan’s Organic Porridge Oats and salt in a food processor, and blend until you get the consistency of a mealy flour. Tip into a bowl and stir in the baking powder and pepper.
In a measuring jug, whisk together the milk and 1 egg, then stir the wet mixture into the dry, until thoroughly combined. Do not let the batter rest, as it may thicken too much. If this occurs, add more milk.
Pour ½ a teaspoon of oil onto a non-stick frying pan and spread around the pan.
Heat a frying pan over a medium heat then add about two teaspoons of the batter. Cook for approx. 2 minutes or until a few bubbles have appeared and the pancake has risen slightly, then use a spatula to flip the pancake, cooking for a further 2 minutes.
Serve with a fried egg, chopped cooked beetroot, sliced avocado, fresh parsley, feta and extra virgin olive oil (or any savoury toppings you desire!).
Day After Porridge Pancakes with Grilled Honey and Orange Figs
Serves 4
Ingredients:
50g Flahavan’s Organic Porridge Oats
250 ml milk
OR 275g leftover porridge and a splash of milk
1 egg
50g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 black figs
Knob of butter
Juice and zest of half an orange
1 tbsp honey
Greek yoghurt
Method:
Place the Flahavan’s Organic Porridge Oats in a small pan over a medium heat with 250ml milk and bring to the boil and reduce the temperature to a low heat and continue cooking for around 10-12 minutes until thick and creamy. Leave the porridge overnight covered with some clingfilm.
Whisk the overnight porridge together with a splash of milk and the egg until well combined. Alternatively, you can add the splash of milk and egg to any leftover porridge you may have.
Sift in the flour and baking powder to the porridge and whisk to combine.
Halve the figs and place cut side facing up on a baking tray. Drizzle with the honey and the orange zest and juice. Place under a hot grill and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the figs start to release their juices and collapse.
Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan and cook spoonfuls of the batter in batches until golden brown on each side. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
Serve the pancakes with the grilled figs and Greek yogurt.

Flours vary, so you may need to add a little more Alpro Oat Unsweetened drink to reach a pourable pancake consistency. It needs to still hold its shape in the pan to form the American style pancakes, so try before adding more milk.
AWARD WINNING TROO SPOONFUL OF FIBRE NOW AVAILABLE IN WAITROSE & HOLLAND & BARRETT STORES NATIONWIDE
FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE
Innovative Gut Health start up TrooFoods Ltd are excited to announce that their unique, fibre-packed alternative sweetener Troo Spoonful of Fibre is now available in Waitrose and Holland & Barrett stores nationwide. Shoppers can now buy the award-winning product from Guernsey to Glasgow.
Made from Chicory Root Fibre and nothing else Troo Spoonful of Fibre is claimed to be ‘one of the easiest ways to get fibre into your diet’. Lack of fibre is one of the biggest nutrition issues we have as a nation; with on average people consuming only 19g of fibre – a whole lot less than the recommended 30g. This is particularly concerning with athletes, including rugby players. Athletes often consume high levels of protein which can have a negative effect on gut health – generally they also do not eat the target 30g of fibre per day. Increasing fibre consumption could negate the issues caused by the excess protein consumption as well as providing a host of other health benefits including improved immunity.
With more fibre in a dessert spoonful than a bowl of bran flakes, Troo Spoonful of Fibre is a super easy way to reach your 30g target. It can be added to hold or cold drinks; drizzled over porridge or added to cooking and baking as a honey substitute.
Awarded ‘Most Innovative New Product’ at the Nourish Awards along with two other prizes in the Ingredients and Gut Health Categories it had the biggest haul of the night in what’s dubbed ‘the toughest health food awards’.
RRP: £4.99 for 227ml jar (Waitrose Price: £5.25 for 227ml jar)
TrooFoods also make fibre-packed Troo Granola and Troo Porridge+ – every proportion of Troo is at least 25% of your daily fibre requirement. Our breakfast cereal are vegan, gluten, wheat and dairy free and come in plastic free packaging.
About TrooFoods Ltd
TrooFoods is a prebiotic-based gut health food company on a mission to inspire people change their diets to live long, healthy & happy lives whilst being kind to the world.
We do this in 4 ways:
1. By helping people UNDERSTAND the gut health science and the research – see our blog
2. By INSPIRING people to make better food choices (including getting closer to the recommended 30g of fibre per day)
3. By making it easy to buy and eat gut healthy food that is DELICIOUS & CONVENIENT
4. By allowing people to track the difference and SEE THE BENEFITS.
We do this in the most sustainable way, aiming to be a B Corporation in the next few months.

Vegans can now make crème egg pancakes for Shrove Tuesday,
thanks to Mummy Meagz and Squeaky Bean®
Cult plant-based chocolatier Mummy Meagz has teamed up with vegan food brand, Squeaky Bean®, to create a cracking new recipe for sweet-toothed vegans. The Chuckie Egg – the vegan crème egg flying off the shelves – tops an indulgent and deliciously sweet pancake stack from Squeaky Bean®, forming the perfect partnership.
The recipe takes less than two minutes to make and promises to shake up Shrove Tuesday with an irresistible alternative to less extravagant pancake toppings.
Last year, nearly half (49.7%) of UK shoppers took part in Shrove Tuesday, which this year falls on 25 February. Despite traditional pancake toppings usually containing eggs and milk, by using Squeaky Bean® pancakes and Mummy Meagz Chuckie Eggs, anyone following a plant-based diet – or reducing their intake of animal products – won’t need to miss out on the fun this Pancake Day.
Meagan Boyle, co-founder of Mummy Meagz, says: “There is no reason why vegans should have to miss out on the tastiest celebrations in the calendar due to their ethical principles. My mission is to ensure those following a plant-based diet can still indulge in treats. We love seeing new creations made with our Chuckie Eggs and these Squeaky Bean® pancake stacks could be one of our best collaborations to date.”
The brands are also giving five lucky winners the chance to receive their own Chuckie Egg pancake kit. To take part in the competition, fans should follow the Mummy Meagz and Squeaky Bean® Instagram pages for more details.
Sarah Augustine, co-creator of Squeaky Bean®, says: “Pancake Day is synonymous with flavour, but it needn’t be full of fuss, mess and hassle. As well as being suitable for vegans, our fluffy American pancakes are quick to prepare, and when teamed with Mummy Meagz Chuckie Eggs are more delicious than ever. We can’t wait to see our fans flip out over this recipe.”
This simple to make recipe – detailed below – requires only basic kitchen equipment, making it perfect for preparing at home, work or in student kitchens.
Recipe:
Ingredients (serves two):
2 packs of Squeaky Bean® Vegan Fluffy American Pancakes
4 Mummy Meagz Chuckie Eggs (or extra if you’re feeling adventurous)
2 scoops vegan vanilla ice cream
1 dessert spoon icing sugar (for dusting)
Method:
Step 1: Remove Squeaky Bean® pancakes from their packaging, stack on a plate, and heat on full power for 25 seconds in an 800W microwave (all microwaves vary, so use this as a guide)
Step 2: Remove the foil from two of the Mummy Meagz Chuckie eggs, chop into small pieces, place in a bowl, and heat in a microwave for 45 seconds, or until melted.
Step 3: While the Chuckie Eggs are melting, scoop two balls of ice cream and place on the top of the Squeaky Bean® pancake stack
Step 4: Stir three tablespoons of maple syrup into the melted Chuckie Eggs gently with a heat-proof spoon and drizzle over the top and sides of the ice cream and Squeaky Bean® pancake stack
Step 5: Remove the foil from the remaining two Chuckie Eggs, carefully cut lengthways in half, and heat in the microwave for 10 seconds
Step 6: Using a heatproof spoon, place these between the ice cream scoops, and finish by dusting icing sugar over top of the stack with a sieve
Step 7: Tuck into your tasty pancake stack!

Chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream and rum caramel sauce
The most indulgent pancakes you’ll ever have. Bring comfort and luxury to your life 😊
Serves 1
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
2 medium British Lion eggs
130g self-raising flour
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
100ml whole milk
Pinch of salt
50g chocolate chips
vegetable oil to fry
25g caster sugar
1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
25g double cream
1 tbsp dark rum
Pinch of salt
25ml double cream
Method
Start with making the pancake batter. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl mix together the butter, eggs and milk. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry gradually and whisk until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps of flour. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Warm up a teaspoon of oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the centre of the pan and shape with the back of the spoon into a round disc.
Cook for 2 minutes on first side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes till the pancake is golden brown. Transfer onto a cooling rack and cook the rest of the mixture.
Whilst the pancakes are cooling down, make the sauce. Simply put all the ingredients (except the rum) into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over a low heat, stirring continuously. Simmer and stir for about 5 minutes, until the sauce is golden brown. Take the sauce off the heat and add the rum. Whisk or stir vigorously until the sauce is smooth again.
Using a whisk, beat the cream to a soft peak consistency.
To serve, stack the pancakes, top with the cream and pour the rum sauce over the stack.
Cook’s tip: double the ingredients for the caramel rum sauce. Make a big batch and keep the leftovers in a jar for future breakfasts

In a separate bowl mix together the butter, two British Lion eggs and milk. Gradually pour the wet ingredients over the dry and whisk until the batter is smooth and there are no lumps of flour.
Warm up a teaspoon of oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot pour 2 tablespoons of batter into the centre of the pan and shape with the back of the spoon into a round disc. Cook for 2 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until the pancake is golden brown. Transfer into a cooling rack and cook the rest of the mixture.
Poach the remaining British Lion egg. Bring a deep saucepan of water to a boil. Add the vinegar. Stir the water, crack the egg and carefully tip it into the centre of the saucepan. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Lift the egg out and drain it on a piece of kitchen paper.
Warm up a small frying pan over a medium heat. Put the bacon in the centre of the pan and fry until browned, for 2-3 minutes. Then flip and cook for another minute.
In a small saucepan, warm up the hollandaise.
To serve, stack the pancakes and place the bacon and British Lion egg on top. Pour over the hollandaise and season with salt and pepper.
Cook’s tip: If you’re not a hollandaise fan, use maple syrup instead!

Below is also advice on how to cook up pancakes for those with alternative dietary requirements.
Credit: ao.com/life
With vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diets more commonplace, we’ve also got tips on easy and simple alternatives to create the same delicious pancakes with no extra fuss.
Gluten Free Pancakes
For those that can’t include gluten in their diet, for pancakes (UK crepe style) it is the flour that needs to be changed. Opt for rice, almond, buckwheat (don’t be fooled by the name, it’s in-fact gluten free), or oat flour. Many supermarkets now stock free-from flour and other alternatives.
If you’re opting for fluffy American style pancakes, flour will need to be swapped for gluten free versions. Baking powder is also added to get the fluffiness. Although many brands use potato or corn starch – double check this on your baking powder as some brands still use wheat starch.
Dairy Free Pancakes
For UK crepe style pancakes, it is only the milk that needs replacing. Fortunately, you can replace this with any dairy free substitute your taste buds desire! Almond, cashew, oat, coconut, soya – the choice is yours.
In American pancakes, these include milk and butter. Milk can be swapped out with any desired replacement. However, for butter, this can be substituted with vegetable oils, e.g. olive spread or coconut oil. Alternatively, there are many dairy free butters available.
Vegan Pancakes
In vegan pancakes, milk and butter need to be replaced with substitutes. This can be done using the dairy free solutions. However, eggs are traditionally included in the mix too. Alternatives to eggs can be; ground flax seed (1tbsp ground flax + 3tbsp of water = 1 egg equivalent). Ripe bananas are an easy alternative too, with half a mashed banana equalling one egg. Applesauce is also a popular substitute with a quarter of unsweetened applesauce offering the same consistency of one egg.

Venezuelan Chocolate Pancakes with Chocolate Maple Syrup
Makes enough pancakes for 4 people
FOR THE PANCAKES
25g Venezuelan 100% dark chocolate, grated
200g buckwheat flour, or spelt
1 free-range egg
45g light muscovado sugar
350ml milk
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
25g unsalted butter, for frying
FOR THE SYRUP
Pinch of sea salt
250ml dark maple syrup
100g 70% dark chocolate, broken into pieces
Place all the pancake ingredients (except the butter) in a blender or food processor and whizz until a smooth, thick batter is formed. Leave the batter to rest while you make the syrup.
To make the syrup, dissolve the salt in 50ml water in a saucepan over a gentle heat, then add the maple syrup and bring to a simmer. Pour on to the chocolate in a bowl and whisk well until smooth.
Heat a crêpe pan or non-stick frying pan until quite hot and melt a generous wedge of butter until it sizzles. Spoon a small or large amount of the batter into the pan, depending on whether you want to make American pancakes or crêpes. Leave to cook on a medium heat until you see bubbles on the surface of the pancake, then carefully turn over and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Place the pancakes on a plate and cover with foil until you have cooked the entire batch.
Serve the pancakes laced with the warm syrup – be generous as the pancakes soak up a lot!

Recipe from 10beasts.com
“I love cooking, but even more, I love sharing food, and pancakes are meant to be shared, right?
Pancakes are my favorite breakfast dish. However, I like my breakfast savory, and this is my favorite savory recipe:
Crêpes Salées au Fromage, or Savory Pancakes with Cheese.
The first time I tasted them was when I visited Paris in 2019. I’ve been obsessed with it ever since!
Here is how you make them:
STEP 1
Mix 190g of flour and 1 pinch of fine salt in a bowl.
STEP 2
Dig a well in the center and add 2 whole eggs. Add 2 fl. oz of oil and 1 cup of milk and mix well until you get a smooth pancake batter without any lumps.
STEP 3
Oil a pancake pan and place it on low heat.
STEP 4
Pour a ladle of pancake batter into the pancake pan and cook the pancake on one side for a few minutes.
STEP 5 – Here comes the fun part!
Add two slices of cheese (Emmental is ideal but you can use any type of cheese) on top of the pancake then turn the pancake over and continue cooking for a few more minutes until it is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
STEP 6 – Optional
Put bechamel sauce and 2 pieces of your favorite ham on top of the pancake and then fold it in a triangle shape. The taste is out of this world!
These pancakes are best when hot, so enjoy them when the cheese is still soft.
Bon appétit!”

Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
From www.cultivatenutrition.com.au
Serves 4 (makes 20 pancakes)
Prep time 10 minutes
Cook time 20 minutes
Ingredients
½ cup (80g) self raising flour
½ cup (80g) buckwheat flour*
2 pinches bicarb soda (baking soda)
1 pinch salt
2 ripe bananas (190g), mashed
2 Tablespoons** maple syrup
2 eggs
185ml milk
1 tsp*** vanilla extract
To serve – fresh/ frozen berries, ricotta cheese, maple syrup
Method
1. In a large bowl, combine the flours, bicarb soda and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the bananas, maple syrup, eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, whisking to combine and remove any lumps. Pour batter into a jug.
4. Heat a large non-stick frypan over low heat. Pour the batter into the pan, to form pancakes approximately 10cm in diameter.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bubbles that appear on the surface pop. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden. Repeat to use all the batter.
6. Serve with berries, ricotta cheese and extra maple syrup.
*use self raising flour instead of buckwheat, if unavailable ** 1 Tbs (Tablespoon) = 20ml *** 1 tsp (teaspoon) = 5ml
suggestions for nutritious pancake toppings: • Boost the protein content by topping your pancakes with a 100% nut butter (eg. natural peanut butter, almond butter, hazelnut butter), sprinkling over some chopped nuts (eg. almonds, walnuts) or adding a couple of dollops of Greek yoghurt or ricotta cheese. • Serve your pancakes with fibre-filled fruit (eg. berries, ripe stone fruit, banana) or add the mashed/ chopped fruit to the batter mixture, as in this recipe. • For added nutrition, sprinkle over some chia seeds or LSA (ground linseed, sunflower seeds, almond meal). • Frozen bananas work just as well as fresh, so rather than throwing out over-ripe bananas, peel and freeze them. When you are ready to make this recipe, just defrost the quantity that you need and add to the mixture as you would if using fresh.
