This potato salad is a winner as long as you’re a fan of coconut and a whisper of curry. It is a play on Meera Sodha’s coconut potatoes which I really love and make all the time: https://www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk/recipes/sides/coconut-potatoes It is amazing as is, but here I’m adding some purple carrots and diced courgette/zucchini from my…

potatoes and carrots
This week I had a bunch of really pretty bunch of purple carrots, a leek, and lovely little potatoes in my veg box. I decided to make some carrot top pesto for some pesto potato salad and roast up a couple of carrots with some of the leek for a topping on a open faced…
carrot tops and bottoms
My veg box came with easily the most gorgeous bouquet of carrots I’ve ever seen. It was almost a shame to eat them, they were so pretty! Then I remembered a friend of mine brought amazing carrot top pesto for a Canada Day potluck and so I figured why not try my hand at it…
roasted mustard potatoes and carrots
It is Sunday and our little household decided to make a Sunday roast. We also decided to try out Smitten Kitchen’s mustard potatoes and we were SO GLAD we did because they were awesome! Here is the link to her recipe: mustard-roasted potatoes We didn’t have everything she listed, so here is our adapted version:…
veg box pasta soup
This tried to be minestrone, but you work with what you’ve got and I didn’t exactly have all the minestrone stuff. I have to say, I’m lucky because my veg box provides a lot of great things for yummy soup! If you’re interested in a pasta veggie soup, this soup has 5 basic parts: 1….
tofu and greens on a baguette
I had some fabulous pakchoi/bokchoy in my veg box, and it turns out that it is super great in a sandwich! If you sauté it with a little soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and peanut oil and some tofu (I had some deep fried tofu they sell at the Asian grocery near me), it is amazing!…
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,…
very orange soup
Soup is a good way to use up random bits and bobs that you don’t know what to do with. This soup is a result of all my orange bits and bobs from my veg box: some carrots, half a sweet potato, one lonely potato (who isn’t orange, I know), and a small pile of…
odds and ends shepherd’s pie
I was trying to decide what to do with the handful of random veg I had kicking around in my veg box (a medium parsnip, a couple of carrots, some brussel sprout leaves, leftover shredded lemony sprouts). Turns out, shepherd’s pie is a good place for random, lonely veg. Ingredients 300-400g of the protein you…
root veg in honey
The parsnips and carrots in my veg box were gorgeous and giant! I decided to roast a couple in my wee pan with a bit of oil, truffle honey (although regular honey would be just fine). In this photo I quartered one large, fat carrot and one medium, fat parsnip, tossed it with a tablespoon…
