purple soup
Well, I still have my giant purple cabbage. Like an old friend, it waited patiently for me to return and I did. I decided to take my friend Sarah’s advice to make it into Anna Jones’s Purple Pickled Cabbage Soup, figuring that would use up the rest of this lovely cabbage. Nope. Still have some…
spring soup
I had some last legs veg that I wanted to use, so I decided that I’d try a different soup, because there are only so many puréed soups a girl can do. This is sorta spring vegetable barley soup, I guess. My lovely lettuce was not fit for sandwiches because it is a bit wilted,…
can’t beat beets
I had two beets in my veg box that needed sorting. I was feeling a little TexMex so most of the beets were sliced thin with a mandolin, tossed with oil and bbq spices (ancho chilli powder, garlic powder, salt, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, lime juice) and roasted at 190C/375F for 15-20. I drizzled a…
meera sodha’s pumpkin & black eyed pea curry
I’ve had a butternut squash kicking around from a veg box past, and some veg box tomatoes that needed to be used, so I decided to make this curry because I love it. It makes a ton, and it is amazing. The original recipe calls for pumpkin, the link I’ve post uses slices of acorn…
green soup
Today I thought I’d make something with all the green veg in my veg box that would go with toast or a sandwich (but it ended up being toast because I was too lazy to sort out a sandwich). I had a huge head of lovely leaf lettuce, a smallish courgette/zucchini, a green pepper (that…
plague pitas
Well, the UK is on lockdown and I’m so grateful to my extraordinary veg box people who have stepped up and delivered amazing food to the doorsteps of so so so many in my community without missing a beat. Cambridge Organic Food Company, you guys are the best! I made pita yesterday and filled them…
three ingredient pita
Jamie Oliver has this recipe for pita bread that uses three ingredients that many british people have kicking around: self-rising flour, baking powder, yogurt. As you can see, it makes a pretty decent pita. It comes together fast and if you have to patience to cook a dozen pancakes, you can cook these! If you…
purple cabbage take one
I received a giant purple cabbage in my veg box which is a big adventure for me. I do like cabbage and I suspect it has some great nutritional value, but I won’t lie, this is a big cabbage. So, friends, here we go, meal one with my giant cabbage. Accompanying my protein is some…
haggis pie
I suppose this isn’t the most convenient meal to make outside the UK, or maybe even outside of Scotland (nope, I’m not in Scotland), but I had haggis in the freezer (as you do). Yes, friends, I did. Haggis is awesome and you can get loads of different kinds, including vegetarian ones, here. Around Burn’s…
