Planet Veggie

Vegan Planet is a cookbook I’ve had for years but only made one recipe from; a recipe I didn’t really like but after recently reading good reviews about it on amazon, I thought I’d give it another go.  Rather than risk giving The Meat Eater something that would downgrade me from domestic goddess to domestic [...]

A cookbook I haven’t used for a while is Vegetarian Express by Rose Elliot so I had a flick through it yesterday looking for inspiration for this week’s soup and came across a recipe for spinach and potato soup.
It was very nice.
And very green.
 

Ingredients (serves 5) [...]

Two friends said on Facebook how nice pumpkin soup was and I said if it was anything like butternut squash, then I couldn’t be bothered with trying to peel it and one of them said no, you just cut it in half and scoop the flesh out, so I thought oh, ok then, pumpkin soup [...]

I love mushrooms.  They taste nice, they go well on things, in things, they’re inexpensive and contain only 13 calories per 100g.  And today’s soup must be one of the easiest soups in the world ever.
Ingredients (serves 5)
Big bag of mushrooms 1 onion 2 cloves of garlic [...]

Gulp, my last food post was over a month ago.  I have eaten since then, honest.  In fact, I’ve made a couple of great recipes from the wonderful Veganomicon, when I make them again, I’ll blog them.
I’ve also been making my weekly soup and having my weekly organic veg box delivered although with my imminent [...]

I saw lambs today.  Titchy, tiny ones.  They were very cute. That has absolutely nothing to do with this blog but I just thought I’d mention it.
So, after seeing lambs (titchy, tiny ones) I escaped the countryside (nasty thing the countryside, completely pointless, whoever invented it needs taking outside and giving a good kicking) and [...]

Another look-in-the-fridge-and-see-what’s-left soup this week. A yellow pepper is still hanging about from the box delivery two weeks ago, and this week’s box brought me broccoli and cabbage. An onion would have been useful but I forgot to buy one. And I wouldn’t have added chili powder and curry powder but I [...]

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and The Meat Eater got me a knives set.  Not just any old knives set, but the coolest knife set in the world ever.
But me being a wimp that is too scared to touch the coolest knife set in the world ever, I let The Meat Eater insert them into their [...]

Originally, I was going to make spicy parsnip soup, as two parsnips (one of which was MASSIVE) were delivered in my weekly organic vegetable box and after having roasted parsnips for Christmas lunch, discovered that I don’t actually like parsnips but I later discovered that I do like them in soup.  Especially a soup that [...]

I’ve been very slack in posting this recipe.  Although is it a recipe if the measurements aren’t precise, or is it just a cross my fingers, shut my eyes (bit dangerous in the kitchen, that one, then again cooking with fingers crossed is probably a bit dangerous too) and hope for the best kind of [...]
