Crusty pasta & broccoli bake
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 IContinue Reading
Miso soup with tofu and spinach
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 meContinue Reading
Macaroni bake
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
Spinach and potato soup
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. Ingredients (serves 5)Continue Reading
Butternut squash soup
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 thoughtContinue Reading
Crumpets
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 IContinue Reading
Cheap, quick and easy mushroom soup
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 2,500mlContinue Reading
Pasta e fagioli
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 itContinue Reading
Oven-baked potato cakes with mushrooms and thyme
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 buyContinue Reading
Graze no longer charging extra for olives
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
