More Quorn for dinner tonight.  Blimey, anyone would think I got sent some free samples or something. Still, I don’t really need an excuse to eat noodles.  Especially chilli ones.  And these Quorn Chilli Stir Fry Strips are already marinated so you don’t need to add any spices of your own.  I usually end up [...]

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, declared it [...]

The Meat Eater made dinner tonight, as he’s in charge of cooking at the weekend (which actually means he only has to cook once as we usually go out Saturday nights) and he actually managed to make the dough in the bread machine all by himself instead of asking me if he was reading the [...]

Another one from my new favourite site – BBC Good Food – and tonight’s recipe didn’t disappoint, especially as it had the addition of a home grown aubergine fresh from the greenhouse (only one grew unfortunately but I’m going down the quality over quantity route). I especially like this recipe as it’s a proper vegetarian [...]

Another BBC Good Food recipe.  The Meat Eater said, after two forkfuls, that if I made this for him every night, he’d marry me.  I’m not sure if that’s reward or punishment? Hmm. Green garden veg pie  Easy Serves 4 Prep 15 mins Cook 35 mins Ingredients 50g butter 2 tsp mustard powder 600ml milk [...]

A few weeks ago I cycled past a house with a table bearing an array of vegetables and a box of eggs.  Next to these was a price list and a jar for money.  I didn’t have any money on me at the time but ever since going past this house, I’ve had a desperate urge to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Another cookbook I don’t use that often is Leith’s Vegetarian Bible, although I don’t know why, as it’s great.  It has 1000 recipes arranged by vegetable type, so if you’re wondering what to with those leftover mushrooms, just turn to the mushroom section and this book will give you a load of options.  There are [...]

This dish is perfect for a Monday evening when you can’t be bothered to spend a lot of time cooking.  Quick, easy and delicious.  It’s taken from Hansa’s Indian Vegetarian Cookbook: Popular Recipes from Hansa’s Gujarati Restaurant which is a book I can’t say much about – except it has some pretty pictures – as [...]
