Planet Veggie

As I was making this dish, I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out as I thought it might be a bit bland.  At the first mouthful, I did think it was a bit bland and needed ’something’ but the more I ate of it, the more I liked it.  Very nice indeed.
It’s [...]

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 [...]

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 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.

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 [...]

As I’ve recently rediscovered crumpets, I thought I’d have a go at making my own as, although they only cost 57p for 8 in Tesco, I don’t like the huge list of ingredients you get on packaged things and after scouring the internet for a crumpet recipe, found out I already [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s a BBC Good Food week this week and tonight’s recipe says it’s a midweek curry treat but that was purely coincidental as I only decided to make this tonight to use up the egg in the fridge that was one day out of date.
I did wonder if it was going to be too hot [...]
