Perhaps not the most exciting photo of the brussels sprouts from my veg box, which were adorable and picture perfect before they hit the pan, but they were still super tasty. Thanks to my veg box, and a fair bit of British encouragement, I’m a brussels sprout convert. This was a fast and yummy dinner…

cauliflower korma
Sometimes a cauliflower can be a daunting veg for one person to manage, but as I discovered a small cauliflower is a delicious 2 meal curry commitment. I decided to try out Meera Sodha’s vegan cauliflower korma recipe because I felt like something luxurious and warm. It is wonderful and worth a try. I made…
tomato veg rice soup
This week Facebook and Instagram were full of delicious things by my friends and family, so I didn’t have to go far to find inspiration for things to do with my veg box. I landed on soup. I wanted something thick and creamy, and one of my friends had done a kinda soup thing with…
rice and beans
I had solid staples in my veg box this week: celery, carrots, onions, and tomatoes, so I thought with the addition of a lone pepper I could do some version of rice and beans. My first thought was chilli since I had a can of kidney beans, but then I thought I’d use some of…
pear and chocolate scones
I’ve had a lot of nice pears in my veg box so I thought I’d try a simple and plain pear and chocolate scone recipe. I made this with oatmilk and not the heavy cream. You can use butter or vegan butter. I used an egg, but I suspect this would be fine with a…
sweet potato, spinach and bean salad
I had some lovely sweet potatoes and onions in my veg box and so I decided to make a smoky grain salad using a small can of cannelloni beans, some frozen spinach, and bulgur wheat. This would work with fresh spinach and any other grains, like couscous. It is just as nice eaten warm as…
stuffed pumpkin
I had a tiny pumpkin from my veg box and saw some fabulous ideas on Instagram for using tiny pumpkins as roasting pots for yummy things. I decided to use mine as a roasting pot for my creamy baked leeks, since I had a bunch of leeks. Such a genius idea, because the pumpkin roasts…
purple cabbage with yummy sauce
I’m still working my way through this purple cabbage. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Today I decided to try out Vegan Richa’s Mac n cheese sauce that she says is just as nice on vegetables as it is on noodles. Also, it calls for potatoes and carrots, which I also had in…
baked radishes
This week I had the biggest radishes I’d ever seen in my veg box. I wasn’t sure what you even do with big radishes. So I figured I would chop them and roast them with a bit of oil, honey, salt, and pepper at 200C/400F for about 15 mins. Turns out that is a completely…
