I love mushrooms. I don’t very often make stuffed mushrooms because a) I think it’s going to be a bit of a faff and I try to make my life pretty much as faffless as I can; and b) I’m never sure what to serve them with and although I’dContinue Reading

After not being mightily impressed with the meals so far cooked out of The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook, I thought I’d choose what had to be a foolproof recipe. A recipe containing leeks and potatoes cooked in cream, milk and cheese can’t go wrong, can it? No, it can’t. It gotContinue Reading

I’ve had courgettes in my veg box from Abel & Cole for the last four weeks but luckily, The Meat Eater says he’s not fed up with courgettes yet (unlike when he moaned about getting spinach twice in a week) and so I looked in my trusty Leiths Vegetarian BibleContinue Reading

Today’s veg box arrived containing a cabbage and potatoes. Luckily enough, Leith’s Vegetarian Bible had a recipe containing both cabbage and potatoes and as it involved cooking it in garlic, double cream and cheese I thought that sounded like a winner. And it was, as The Meat Eater declared itContinue Reading

I recently reinstated my veg box delivery but opting for Abel & Cole for a change, instead of Riverford. Not that I had any problems with Riverford; I thought they were great, but the fact that you can skip any fruit or veg you don’t want appealed to me, asContinue Reading

More Quorn for dinner tonight.  Blimey, anyone would think I got sent some free samples or something.

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 EaterContinue Reading

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 meContinue Reading

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 recipeContinue Reading

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 2Continue Reading
