I had a tiny broccoli in my veg box which was perfect for some broccoli carrot peanut noodles, but I wanted a use for the large stalk I had leftover. I decided to make a nutty, sorta cheesy, vegan spread for bagels/toast. It isn’t a looker, but it is rather nice! Here is what 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…
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,…
smokey red pepper and tomato sauce
This morning my friend told me about this super yummy red pepper pasta salad recipe she made, and insisted I make. Since my vegbox provided most of the stuff I needed, and I was just missing the pasta, I figured I would give it a go. Or at least something like it, and stick it…
carrot and couscous salad
The carrots in my veg box are magical and deserve a starring role in a dish. Often I make shredded carrot salad. This is an easy roasted carrot salad with couscous that is nice and easy from Clare Thomson: I made a few alterations, but it is basically the same. Here is what I did….

broccoli pesto
In my vegbox was a lovely head of broccoli. One of the great ways to use some of the head and all of the stalk is to make a pesto. It is super easy and you can basically add the flavours you like. Here is what you do. Put your pasta to boil in a…
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…
