Spaghetti with lentil and tomato sauce
I had a long(ish) run to do on Saturday morning, so that was as good an excuse as any to have spaghetti the night before. Unfortunately, The Meat Eater didn’t look at his phone and get my ‘can you get some spaghetti when you go to Tesco please’ text, soContinue Reading
Spinach-chickpea burgers
I’ve got a new cookbook. It’s called Veggie Burgers Every Which Way and is a cookbook of veggie burgers, salads, buns and toppings. My first adventure into homemade veggie-burger-land was the spinach-chickpea burgers. Bloody hell, this was a lot of faff – I think I used every pot, pan andContinue Reading
Coulibiac with soured cream sauce
I made a plaited thing. It’s actually called a coulibiac but I don’t know how to pronounce that, so I’m sticking with ‘plaited thing’. The plaited thing came from Rose Elliot’s Vegetarian Supercook which I haven’t used for a while. Everything I’ve made from it in the past has comeContinue Reading
Dalepak Mushroom Crispbakes
Dalepak sent me a huge hamper full of frozen food, so I’ll be posting quite a bit about Dalepak in the coming weeks. First up, I tried their Mushroom Crispbakes with White Wine and Cheddar Sauce Centre, which I served with chips and baked beans. They’re a decent size, theContinue Reading
Tesco Free From Creamy Sweet Chilli Spread
Tesco have added a load of vegan products to their ‘Free From’ range. I first read about them on the Fat Gay Vegan blog, then forgot about them, until I passed them in my local Tesco the other day. My Tesco doesn’t have the huge range Fat Gay Vegan’s seemsContinue Reading
Good Natured Salad
There’s a new range of salad fruit and vegetables which are pesticide residue free. They’re not alliteration-free though so if alliteration’s your thing, you will love Tantalising Tomatoes (baby plum tomatoes and vine tomatoes), Cool Cucumbers (whole cucumbers), Perfect Peppers and Awesome Aubergines. Available in selected ASDA stores nationwide, fromContinue Reading
Moroccan Chickpea and Aubergine Casserole
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
Using Warburtons Square(ish) Wraps at a BBQ
When The Meat Eater arrived home on Friday, he announced he fancied a BBQ for dinner. So off we went to Tesco for provisions of a Linda McCartney BBQ Selection Pack, coleslaw, potato salad and beer. I’d been sent some Warburtons Square(ish) Wraps to try and so, instead of theContinue Reading
Warburtons Sandwich Thins: Cheese and Tomato Toastie
As scrumptious as sandwiches are, I fall asleep after eating one for lunch – plus, doesn’t bread contain about a billion calories or something? But Warburtons Sandwich Thins are – unsurprisingly – thin, only contain 100 calories and perfect for a lighter lunch. The thins are cute (as much asContinue Reading
Lentil and courgette gratin
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
