Happily I’ve had purple potatoes and green beans in my vegbox and I’ve decided to experiment with a different salad. Sana Javari Kadri runs a gorgeous spice company I follow on Instagram (@Diasporaco) and she had a really yummy recipe for green beans with a kimchi dressing. Here is her amazing recipe: https://www.lettucegrow.com/recipes/green-beans-with-kimchi-vinaigrette-and-frizzled-green-onions It looked…

potato, bean, tofu salad with harissa dressing
The photo is a little blurry, but the salad is super yummy! It was a treat to have purple potatoes in my veg box this week, so I had a really pretty and colourful salad. I also had green beans and some super pretty purple and green lettuce in my box, so I thought I…
coconut peanut rice
If you like peanuts, this is quick and easy and works with any nice veg and protein you have kicking around. I had lovely green beans and carrots from my veg box and some smoked tofu in the fridge. Here is what I did. Put some rice to cook, however much you want and however…
rainbow curry
I had all the beautiful colours in my vegbox this week, so I decided to make Meera Sodha’s new potato, chard, and coconut curry recipe. Since I had carrots and green beans in my box, I threw those in with my potatoes and rainbow chard. This tastes as lovely as it looks. I’m so pleased….
green and white bean stew
Meera Sodha had recipe for a light summer stew with a rich vegan aioli, that I thought I would try, since the stew was mainly green beans and celery, both of which I had in my veg box this week. I also added some spinach for extra green. It was exactly how she described it,…

late summer bowl
It has been very warm like summer the past few days and my veg box had lovely late summer veg like courgette/zucchini and green beans. I decided to sauté them with some of the lovely mushrooms from my box and also with a patty pan squash I was gifted from my neighbour (from her allotment)…
cool summer salads
It was hot today and so cool easy salads were what I needed. These three are low effort and using not too many ingredients: spicy brown lentils with tomatoes and lemon; potato, green bean, and rocket/arugula salad with honey mustard dressing; and herby mushrooms with sourdough croutons. You can add feta or mozzarella to any…
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…
radishes on toast
My veg box this week had lovely radishes which made me remember my friend Sarah telling me how lovely they are thinly sliced on toast with butter. I admit when I heard this, it seems like a sketchy plan, but turns out it is simple and absolutely delicious. Really. I also had a handful of…
