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…

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…

orange and turmeric noodles
With fresh turmeric, orange, fennel, potatoes, and carrots in my veg box, this bowl of sunshine is exactly what I wanted. It is a modification of Anna Jones’s brilliant root veg dish: a completely flexible wonder that can can accommodate all manner of root veg, beans/pulses, and small pasta. It is bright in colour and…
cucumber, tomato, and herb salad
This salad is a celebration of friends. The recipe comes from a dear friend who provides love, inspiration, and exciting spices. The herbs are a gift from another dear friend who showers me with care, laughs, and endless support. And the cucumbers are a gift from a very generous neighbour who leaves me lovely doorstep…
pasta and sprouts
Like everyone in England with a veg box, I had Christmas sprouts. Until my veg box, this was not something I would have bought, but my veg box has convinced me this is not the worst. I have used some of my sprouts, with a lovely lemon from my box to make a quick sprouty…
cabbage rolls and cabbage roll lasagna
I had the most beautiful small Savoy cabbage in my veg box this week and I was inspired by a delicious photo on Instagram to make some cabbage rolls because Savoy cabbage, with their lacy leaves, make particularly pretty ones. I haven’t made cabbage rolls before, so a warning to the novice cabbage roll makers,…
potatoes and beans
I love potatoes and the potatoes in my veg box are always fantastic. This week I also had some gorgeous garlic, so I decided to make one of my favourite potato dishes: Anna Jones’s Greek potatoes. She adds whipped feta, but any crumbled non-dairy/dairy cheese is nice here. I decided I wanted a protein boost,…
slaw salad
Adventures with my veg box: Kohlrabi is something I had never bought or really heard of until I had a veg box. A number of my British and German friends just love it, and I can see why—it is a lovely crisp, mild, almost sweet brassica and makes for a nice coleslaw salad since my…
meatballs
Sometimes I’m looking for a little protein boost for the things I make with the veg in my veg box. Here is a vegan meatball recipe my dear friend shared with me that I really love and I make a lot. They are nice as spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sandwiches, Swedish meatballs, or meatballs in…
