I got an email from Graze telling me that they are no longer charging 50p extra if you want olives in your delivery. HURRAH! I love olives, so this is very good news to me. And I even got olives in my first delivery after the no charge thing cameContinue Reading
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that was purely coincidental as I only decided to make this tonight to use up the egg in the fridge that was one day out of date.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 itContinue Reading
As I’ve reinstated my organic vegetable box delivery, I needed some recipes to make use of the vegetables that I don’t usually buy, e.g. courgettes and other green healthy things like that. I stumbled upon the BBC Good Food website and what a great site it is. It has aContinue Reading
Ok, my last plug for Leith’s Vegetarian Bible for the time being. I’ve used this book a lot in the last week, and this recipe is one I’ve used lots in the past. Good carbo-loading food (not that I run much anymore). Ingredients (serves 4) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1Continue Reading
Hmm, seem to have had a Leith’s Vegetarian Bible themed week last week. Here’s another. This was really nice but I really should have served it with some new potatoes. Ah well, there’s leftovers in the freezer so next time I will serve it with the potatoes from the gardenContinue Reading

After experimenting further with the pizza base quantities, it’s now perfected I think. After quartering the original recipe, we now have a base that’s not too thick and not too soggy. Hurrah. Pizza base (makes 1 large pizza) 1/2 teaspoon dried yeast 3/4 cup bread flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2Continue Reading
This recipe, from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible, was so amazingly nice that, after eating it, I didn’t want to eat anything else ever. I just wanted to eat this every day. I don’t eat a lot of eggs; they have a bit of a squeamish factor for me as they’re aContinue Reading
I received an email today, here it is: Hi, We represent, La Cense Beef, a leading producer of organic, grass-fed beef and thought that your audience might be interested in learning more about this company and its products. We’d be interested in getting a write-up and or link from yourContinue Reading
After receiving my free box, I was going to cancel my order as it seemed a bit extravagant getting fruit, nuts and seeds delivered to my house instead of just nipping down to the road to the shop like a normal person, but three weeks on and I think I’mContinue Reading
