Planet Veggie

There’s quite a lot of ingredients in this, although most of which should be in your store cupboard.  In fact, I only had to buy a carrot, so it’s kind of like a free meal.  Result.
What is even more of a result is that it’s delicious.  The Meat Eater ate a mouthful, [...]

A nice, chunky, warming dish made with potato, beans and pasta for these cold evenings from Good Housekeeping Step by Step Vegetarian Cookbook. It came out thicker than I expected, as in the colour index it says it’s somewhere between a stew and a hearty soup which I suppose it is, but you only need [...]

I asked The Meat Eater to get me some potatoes from the supermarket.   I didn’t write down exactly the type of potato I wanted as I just wanted one large-ish potato and wasn’t really bothered which type and the only type I didn’t want and didn’t expect him to buy was new potatoes. 
So he [...]

Ok, my last plug for Leith’s Vegetarian Bible for the time being.  I’ve used this book a lot in the last week, and this recipe is one I’ve used lots in the past.  Good carbo-loading food (not that I run much anymore).
Ingredients (serves 4)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, deseeded and [...]

Hmm, seem to have had a Leith’s Vegetarian Bible themed week last week.  Here’s another.  This was really nice but I really should have served it with some new potatoes.  Ah well, there’s leftovers in the freezer so next time I will serve it with the potatoes from the garden which are very small and [...]

Another one from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible.  This was very nice, but slicing and frying so much aubergine was a bit tedious.  It’s also another book that calls for parmesan but to give Leith’s credit, after some investigation, in the beginning of the book they state  that they refer to the generic name for cheese and [...]

This recipe, from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible, was so amazingly nice that, after eating it, I didn’t want to eat anything else ever.  I just wanted to eat this every day.  I don’t eat a lot of eggs; they have a bit of a squeamish factor for me as they’re a bit too close to an [...]

Another Delia recipe.  She’s one of those annoying chefs who either a) think parmesan is vegetarian; or b) can’t be bothered to state parmesan-style cheese in their recipes.  This is one of my pet hates.  Parmesan is NEVER vegetarian.  If you eat parmesan, you are not vegetarian, unless you consider a dead calf’s stomach lining [...]

I’ve never made a soufflé before.  I’ve never even eaten a soufflé before.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve even seen a real live soufflé before, only on the telly.  And it was seeing one on the telly recently that made me want to make one.  So off I went to good [...]

Another one from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible tonight, although not a lazy one, as this dish took around an hour to make.
As well as blogging my dinner, I’ve somehow been talked into drawing it too.  My mountain mate David has started a Facebook group called Draw Your Dinner where people draw pictures of their dinner (or [...]
