The only enchiladas I’ve ever made before were the spicy bean enchiladas from Anita Bean’s Food for Fitness, which are made with beans. Going through another back issue of Vegetarian Living, I stumbled across this recipe which used veggie mince, so thought I’d give it a go. I’m glad I did, as I think I prefer it to [...]

Mushrooms, spinach, potatoes, crème fraiche and filo pastry. Yes, it’s as nice as it sounds. You can see the recipe at the BBC Good Food website

As I was going to be out all day on Wednesday, I’d left instructions with The Meat Eater to rescue the Riverford veg box from the hiding place our nice veg delivery lady leaves our box in if I’m out, and when I got back in late that night, he said ‘WE’VE GOT AN ALIEN [...]

I got sent one of these in this week’s Riverford box. After ignoring the old ‘Google is your friend’ thing, I posted a photo of it on Facebook and asked what it was. I got the following answers: ‘No idea – I’d probably draw it!’ ‘Put batteries in it and sit on it…. ?’ ‘Whatever [...]

I don’t recall ever having stuffed a pepper before. Mushrooms, yes, and I vaguely recall stuffing a tomato some time back in 1994 but peppers? No. This is probably because I’m not mega keen on cooked peppers. Well, I wasn’t mega keen on cooked peppers, but I’ve changed my mind. These were delicious. This recipe [...]

I love mushrooms. I don’t very often make stuffed mushrooms because a) I think it’s going to be a bit of a faff and I try to make my life pretty much as faffless as I can; and b) I’m never sure what to serve them with and although I’d be happy to have them [...]

After not being mightily impressed with the meals so far cooked out of The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook, I thought I’d choose what had to be a foolproof recipe. A recipe containing leeks and potatoes cooked in cream, milk and cheese can’t go wrong, can it? No, it can’t. It got a rating of ‘yum’ by [...]

I’ve had courgettes in my veg box from Abel & Cole for the last four weeks but luckily, The Meat Eater says he’s not fed up with courgettes yet (unlike when he moaned about getting spinach twice in a week) and so I looked in my trusty Leiths Vegetarian Bible for another courgette recipe (they [...]

Today’s veg box arrived containing a cabbage and potatoes. Luckily enough, Leith’s Vegetarian Bible had a recipe containing both cabbage and potatoes and as it involved cooking it in garlic, double cream and cheese I thought that sounded like a winner. And it was, as The Meat Eater declared it ‘very yum’ and gave me [...]

I recently reinstated my veg box delivery but opting for Abel & Cole for a change, instead of Riverford. Not that I had any problems with Riverford; I thought they were great, but the fact that you can skip any fruit or veg you don’t want appealed to me, as I used to end up [...]
