My veg box had loads of kale and fennel, so I made two different meals (and leftovers) with it, one was tofu tacos and the other is this: kale, shaved fennel, orange, pumpkin seed salad and smoked tofu sandwiches with marinated kale, tomatoes, and spicy mayo (made from whatever mayo you have around and your…

taco tuesday
Tacos! In my veg box was peaches, fennel, oranges, onions, and tomatoes, so I thought I would try some fun fresh tacos. Grilled smoked tofu, Lauren Toyota’s watermelon peach salsa, and some homemade fennel parsley slaw. This watermelon peach salsa is SO tasty. It is absolutely addictive and worth making loads so you have some…
happy little pies
I had a lot of flat peaches in my veg box. And some random veg box pears and strawberries. So I made a little peach, pear, strawberry pie, with a bit of mint and a teaspoon of chambord. Because I’m the kinda person who has a little pie plate. Many ready-to-roll crusts in the UK…
smoky spreads
I had some veg that was great for grilling in my veg box, and I decided to grill them and make them into dips: smoky, herby aubergine/eggplant dip and roast red pepper dip. The first time I tried making dips (as seen in this photo), I blended the veg pretty smooth. It was okay, but…
rhubarb & roses
I had a bit of an adventure in the Peak District and stayed at my good friend Jo’s home where made happy use of her gorgeous garden. One of my lovely kitchen adventures was a rhubarb rose compote, which is yummy on toast or granola or whatever yogurt you like. I just cut a few…
chips and salad
Today seemed like a good day for salads and chips, since my veg box had loads of great greens and some friendly root veg. So, here is kale chips, quinoa kale salad with carrot miso ginger dressing, and potato and green bean salad. It is my usual kale chips recipe (which I’ve posted), because I’m…
bespoke spuds
My veg box had loads of greens: chard and some unusual salad greens. I was also gifted a bespoke edible bouquet courtesy of my dear friend Lesley who never fails to bring beauty and joy to all around her. I decided to make a very green potato salad with the greens, some of the herbs, and a…
cozy veggies
My friend Sarah said this was super yummy. The recipe looked meh. But she was right. It is pretty yummy. It is Nigel Slater’s roasted peppers, zucchini/courgette, shallot, and cherry tomatoes with rosemary, with a yogurt and sumac sauce, mixed with the juice and oil from the roasted veg. The original recipe is here and says serves…
ugly puddings
Smitten Kitchen was right, this is a horror on the outside, but heaven on the inside. I had some last legs raspberries in my veg box to eat, so I figured I’d try this. This photo is equal parts raspberries mixed with crème fraîche (or you could use sour cream, or thick Greek yogurt, or…
potato leek comfort
This got me through a trying week and my veg box was thankfully full of familiar favourites. Boil equal amounts of chopped leeks and potato in a pot with water and a stock cube (I used oxo veg stock). Let boil until everything is soft, about 10-15 mins. Put 1/2 or so into a bowl…
