I had some lovely kale and potatoes in my veg box so I decided to make Mera Sodha’s Pakistani style spinach and potatoes, but using kale rather than spinach. It worked out really well, I just chopped my kale finely and sautéed it with the onions. This is hugely moreish and hard not to have…

kale and potato salad
I had loads of fluffy kale and tiny delicious new potatoes in my veg box, and since it is so hot, I decided to make a simple salad. This salad works if you really love kale already. If you don’t, this might not convert you. You can add non-dairy/dairy feta, faux/real tuna with Mayo, olives,…
sweet potato salad with white bean miso hummus
This week I had sweet potatoes in my veg box, so I decided to try Meera Sodha’s recipe for a sweet potato salad with a white bean miso hummus. I also had some kale in my box, which I thought would be a lovely addition and it was. You’ll want to steam it first and…
kale, potato, chickpea salad
I used to eat this all the time in the early years of my veg box because I was almost always guaranteed amazing kale and potatoes. I eventually started to use my kale and potatoes in other things, but I decided to go back to this favourite. It is simple and easy. I usually make…
corn, kale, and potatoes
I had some corn in my veg box and decided rather than just eating on the cob, I would try something else. I decided to make sort of a spicy corn stirfry/salad with leeks, kale, and potatoes also in my veg box. It turned out better than I expected. Here is what I did. I…

broccoli, kale, and giant couscous
Since we’ve been having a stretch of hot days, I’ve been so happy for the greens in my veg box that have gone into some simple salads. This is baby kale, broccoli, and giant couscous salad. You can use any smallish noodley things like orzo or tiny pasta shapes, but I sorta love giant couscous…
beans on toast
Well, not your usual beans on toast. I had some beautiful baby kale in my veg box and decided to sauté it in some olive oil with a shallot, a very small can of cannellini beans, some fresh rosemary and sage. When it was all soft and mostly done, I added some Aleppo pepper, a…
sweet potato kale salad
In my veg box I had some great sweet potatoes and some flower sprouts, which is a cross between kale and Brussels sprouts. I decided to make a warm salad by roasting the sweet potatoes, steaming the flower sprouts, brown rice, and making a peanut dressing. This isn’t exactly quick and uses a lot of…
bad photo soup
Easy soup, bad photography. I’m not sure why my green/olive soup ended up looking so orange in this photo, but oh well.Here is the thing. You can make a complicated, delicious, non-dairy cream soup that is fantastic with a million ingredients. And they are super great. You can also make a reasonably good and simple…
