‘There’s too much black pepper in it.’ Honestly, one episode of Masterchef and The Meat Eater thinks he’s an expert. (I agreed with him, but – sshh – don’t tell him that.) Too much black pepper aside, this was a lovely dish. The feta gave it a wonderful tang. I’veContinue Reading
Aren’t tortillas amazing? Bake them for enchiladas, fry them for chimichangas, top them with your favourite sandwich fillings and roll them, and even make pizzas out of them. A tortilla pizza is perfect if you want something lighter than your average pizza. An extra bonus is it has far fewerContinue Reading
My local farm shop’s great. I asked Andy, the owner, on Facebook if he had any portobello mushrooms in and he said no, but he’d get some for me in the morning. I said great, I’ll be in then. So, I went down there the next day and he saidContinue Reading

Lentil and mushroom soup (serves 4) Taken from Rose Elliot’s New Complete Vegetarian 1 large onion, chopped 1 large garlic clove, crushed 1 tbsp olive oil 15g butter 125gContinue Reading
There’s something not quite right about preparing dinner at 11am but there’s a reason slow cookers are called slow. This meant I was chopping onions and mushrooms in the morning before going to university, so dinner would be sort of ready when I got back. All I had to doContinue Reading
Healthy meal no. 2 wasn’t so healthy as it contained Quorn, a packet stir-fry sauce and spring rolls. Still, it wasn’t chocolate, cheese, crisps or chips, so it was a lot more healthy than a lot of my meals recently. My stir-fry was made with leeks and mushrooms from theContinue Reading
I always think stuffing vegetables sounds like it’s going to be fiddly and time-consuming. It’s not though, at least not the way I do it which mostly involves bunging the stuffing on top of whatever it is I’m stuffing. Like this aubergine stuffed with mushrooms, for example. Dead easy. MushroomContinue Reading
The Meat Eater saw the amount of washing up and asked what was for dinner. I said it’s like a shepherd’s pie, but with beans. He asked if I’d made it before and I said no. He looked scared. I didn’t know why he looked scared as most things IContinue Reading
Anjum Anand has a new cookbook out – Vegetarian Indian Feast. I’d been looking forward to trying out some recipes from this book and what better week to try one out than National Curry Week? Anjum’s autumnal squash, butterbean and mushroom cobbler probably isn’t what you’d first think of whenContinue Reading
I’ve been eating a lot of food out of packets recently, so tonight I decided to have something healthy. There’s a farm shop local to me that sells seasonal vegetables, so I scooted down there to see what they had and made a super-healthy dish that probably contained at leastContinue Reading
