I should have learnt my lesson last week when making burgers that they’re a bit of a faff. These took almost two hours to make (although the recipe says one hour – I’m a slow cook) and I really did think I’d spent two hours making something that was goingContinue Reading
Today wasn’t casserole weather but last week I’d bought an aubergine to make this recipe with and as it was going a bit manky, it needed using up. Like a few of my recent recipes, this is also from Rose Elliot’s New Complete Vegetarian. The recipe in the book saidContinue Reading
Another courgette recipe, again from Rose Elliot’s New Complete Vegetarian. We still have two courgettes in the fridge and apparently there are more to come out of the greenhouse, so there’ll be even more courgette recipes on the way soon. I made a courgette and smoked feta cheese soup lastContinue Reading
Oh blimey, it’s courgette season again. This means weeks of courgette soup and stuffed courgettes. Just as well I like courgettes then, eh? I found this recipe in Rose Elliot’s New Complete Vegetarian and what I liked most about it is that I already had all of the ingredients (orContinue Reading

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, heContinue Reading
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 andContinue Reading
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.Continue Reading
