Thai vegetable omelette
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
Trofie pasta Liguria (with pesto, green beans and potato)
Another Delia recipe. She’s one of those annoying chefs who either a) think parmesan is vegetarian; or b) can’t be bothered to state parmesan-style cheese in their recipes. This is one of my pet hates. Parmesan is NEVER vegetarian. If you eat parmesan, you are not vegetarian, unless you considerContinue Reading
Name & shame: Resolute Digital
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
This week’s Graze box
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
Spinach and ricotta pasta
Woo hoo, don’t get too excited, but here’s a meal I made up myself, and not copied out of a book. OK, so it’s only spinach and ricotta pasta, which is hardly new and original but I had leftover spinach and leftover ricotta from the spinach and ricotta soufflés I madeContinue Reading
Spinach and ricotta souffles with fonduta sauce
I’ve never made a soufflé before. I’ve never even eaten a soufflé before. In fact, I don’t think I’ve even seen a real live soufflé before, only on the telly. And it was seeing one on the telly recently that made me want to make one. So off I wentContinue Reading
Chilli-baked eggs
Another one from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible tonight, although not a lazy one, as this dish took around an hour to make. As well as blogging my dinner, I’ve somehow been talked into drawing it too. My mountain mate David has started a Facebook group called Draw Your Dinner where peopleContinue Reading
Artichoke hearts carbonara
Another cookbook I don’t use that often is Leith’s Vegetarian Bible, although I don’t know why, as it’s great. It has 1000 recipes arranged by vegetable type, so if you’re wondering what to with those leftover mushrooms, just turn to the mushroom section and this book will give you aContinue Reading
Ringan mattar (aubergine and pea curry)
This dish is perfect for a Monday evening when you can’t be bothered to spend a lot of time cooking. Quick, easy and delicious. It’s taken from Hansa’s Indian Vegetarian Cookbook: Popular Recipes from Hansa’s Gujarati Restaurant which is a book I can’t say much about – except it hasContinue Reading
Another pizza (this time less soggy)
After Jo responded to my ‘how to get pizza base less soggy’ question on my previous pizza post, The Meat Eater and I skipped off to our local Robert Dyas (ok we drove 10 miles to the nearest Robert Dyas) and purchased a pizza tray with holes in. So, ofContinue Reading
