This week I had an absolutely giant beetroot in my veg box. I decided to use some of the beetroot to make a veg soup, since I also had adorable fat, tiny carrots and a veg I had not heard of before called “salsify” which I was told tastes like artichoke, green beans, and some…

broccoli soup
I think everyone probably has a broccoli soup recipe, but here is a vegan one I did that is creamy, gentle, and satisfying. It makes use of lovely veg box favourites (carrots, onions, potatoes, in addition to broccoli). It gets its zip from cashews blended up with some nutritional yeast. I didn’t use stock, just…
carrot and broad bean salad
I had a lot of gorgeous carrots in my veg box, so I decided to try out David Lebovitz’s French grated carrot salad recipe I had seen a million years ago that I thought looked good. And it was really good. It was also super easy and really nice with some young broad beans from…
cabbage and carrots
I had some great carrots and red cabbage in my veg box, so I decided to make a quick cold noodle salad using soba noodles. Next time I’ll add some tofu, but feel free to add more yummy things to this base, perhaps nuts and seeds and more veg. Bittman’s carrot dressing is really amazing….
braised roots with orange, chilli, chickpeas, and turmeric
I admit when I saw this recipe by Anna Jones, I was deeply sceptical. It didn’t call for onions, garlic, or tomatoes which made me worry that it wasn’t going to hang together at all. Also the original calls for swede, which I don’t like. I didn’t have any celeriac, but I figured I had…
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…
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…
purple cabbage tofu noodles
With good news of a new American president, I didn’t have any celebratory blue food for the democrat win, but my veg box did have a wonderful purple cabbage. Purple cabbage makes for a great and fast noodle bowl, so if you’re interested, here is what I did. I sliced my cabbage into thin ribbons,…
ancho chipotle butternut squash soup
This soup isn’t a looker, I know. But the verdict was, from the thanksgiving social distancing hikers, it was tasty. This week I got a giant butternut squash in my veg box, so I will be on a series of butternut squash adventures. I figured like everyone with butternut squash, I’d make soup. This was…
