Another recipe from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Veg Everyday! cookbook. One thing I’ve noticed about this cookbook is that it has no approximate cooking or preparation times in it (not that I ever take any notice of the preparation times; I’m so slow, I take about four times as long as it states). This is annoying as [...]

The Meat Eater gave me a copy of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s ‘River Cottage Veg Every Day!’ cookbook for Christmas and tonight I gave one of the recipes a try. It’s a great book, packed full of tempting recipes and gorgeous colour photos. After a week of wine- and cheese-based indulgence, I only wanted something light, so [...]

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 [...]

Woo hoo, don’t get too excited, but here’s a meal I made up myself, and not copied out of a book.  OK, so it’s only spinach and ricotta pasta, which is hardly new and original but I had leftover spinach and leftover ricotta from the spinach and ricotta soufflés I made the other day so I  [...]
