Spicy broccoli and cabbage soup
Another look-in-the-fridge-and-see-what’s-left soup this week. A yellow pepper is still hanging about from the box delivery two weeks ago, and this week’s box brought me broccoli and cabbage. An onion would have been useful but I forgot to buy one. And I wouldn’t have added chili powder and curry powderContinue Reading
Sundried tomato and jalapeno bread
Last night I’m trying to decide whether or not to make some bread and because I can’t think for myself, I put this pondering onto my Facebook status like the saddo I am and it gets the thumbs up from Julia and Mark and so then I have to decideContinue Reading
Competition: Win “The Seasoned Vegetarian” by Simon Rimmer
It may be vegetable box delivery Thursday but today I have something far more interesting to blog about, oh yes. Today it’s Planet-Veggie-is-feeling-generous-today day although strictly speaking that should be Mitchell-Beazley-is-feeling-generous-today day as my new favourite publisher has given me three copies of The Seasoned Vegetarian by Simon Rimmer toContinue Reading
Broccoli and yellow pepper soup
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and The Meat Eater got me a knives set. Not just any old knives set, but the coolest knife set in the world ever. But me being a wimp that is too scared to touch the coolest knife set in the world ever, I let TheContinue Reading
This week’s mystery vegetable : Swiss chard
I rescue my vegetable box from under the recycling bin (yay, they were emptied this week, unlike last week when those few flakes of snow scared off the council workers, probably due to some cr*ppy health & safety thing) and it’s full of pretty colours and I look at theContinue Reading
Leek & bean cassoulet : Veganomicon
Although I’m not a vegan, I’ve bought some vegan cookbooks in the past and they’ve all been, well, crap, basically and have been put straight back on Amazon but when I decided to be vegan for the month of July last year, I bought Veganomicon after reading glowing reviews ofContinue Reading
Spicy vegetable soup
Originally, I was going to make spicy parsnip soup, as two parsnips (one of which was MASSIVE) were delivered in my weekly organic vegetable box and after having roasted parsnips for Christmas lunch, discovered that I don’t actually like parsnips but I later discovered that I do like them inContinue Reading
Cheddar, sun-dried tomato and olive bread
Waking up to the smell (do I have to use a poncy word like aroma? No one ever says aroma. “Ooh, what a nice aroma”? As if) of freshly baked bread is one of the nicest things to wake up to (although waking up next to The Meat Eater hasContinue Reading
What’s in the box?
My favourite day of the week arrives and I’m at work with a hangover after celebrating Gary’s 40th last night with wine, lager, vodka and champagne and I’m wondering if my vegetables will get stolen as my recycling bin hasn’t been emptied and one of the spare recycling bins stillContinue Reading
Broccoli and potato soup
I’ve been very slack in posting this recipe. Although is it a recipe if the measurements aren’t precise, or is it just a cross my fingers, shut my eyes (bit dangerous in the kitchen, that one, then again cooking with fingers crossed is probably a bit dangerous too) and hopeContinue Reading
