Mumbai pasties

I’m always glad for potatoes in my veg box because they are my favourite. Today I tried something different with my usual aloo recipe that I make about once a week (I have 3 potato recipes that sit in rotation: this aloo one, colcannon, and Anna Jones’s Greek potatoes). I decided to make a pasty…

ottolenghi’s cauliflower korma wraps

It tastes a whole lot better than it looks, I promise! I had a small cauliflower in my veg box this week and decided to try this recipe, but instead of tofu, I added some veg box carrots and potatoes. This was absolutely marvellous. However, I did make the following changes. I didn’t do the…

spinach pie

A good friend of mine has made this lovely pie for me many times and I’ve finally got around to making it for myself. This is easy and delicious. I make it in my big cast iron pan. My stomach isn’t great with the volume of alliums in the original recipe, so I’ve reduced it…

gochujang noodles

I saw this quick and easy recipe on food52 for a spicy, creamy noodle dish using greens and I thought I would give it a go with my vegbox courgette/zucchini and pak choi. It is just as easy and delicious as the recipe says. It would also be fabulous with any greens or leftover protein…

peanut noodles and greens

I had a couple of lovely little pak choi/bok choy in my veg box this week and so I decided to make some cold peanut noodle salad. What I like about this is that it makes a nice base for tossing in whatever leftover veg and protein you have kicking around. There are a million…

sweet potato mac and cheese

Sweet potatoes are always the last to get used in my veg box because I think I don’t like them even though I do, so I tend to scramble for a recipe. Today I tried Nigella’s sweet potato Mac n cheese. It is delicious. Is this my favourite Mac n cheese? Probably not. But it…

chinese 5 spice soup

So I had a few odds and sods to use up from my veg box and I don’t like to let any of my nice veg go to waste, so I decided to make some clear soup with lots of ginger from my box and Chinese 5 spice, which I really enjoy and don’t use…

breakfast pears

I often struggle with what to do with all my lovely vegbox pears. Last night I decided to poach them so I could have them for breakfast this morning. Usually you get the great colour with wine, but since they are breakfast pears, I used tea, an orange and it’s peel (from my vegbox), a…
