I admit when I saw this recipe by Anna Jones, I was deeply sceptical. It didn’t call for onions, garlic, or tomatoes which made me worry that it wasn’t going to hang together at all. Also the original calls for swede, which I don’t like. I didn’t have any celeriac, but I figured I had…

mustard brussels sprouts
This week’s veg box brought all the sprouts, so I thought I would try a recipe recommended to me by a friend. I was lovely, even though I didn’t have all the ingredients. And it made a great lunch. Her recipe calls for cashews, but I used almonds and mustard powder and I used regular…
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…
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…
dippy beans
My second adventure with broad beans was a marvellous success! I’ve been a big fan of smashed avocado ever since my veg box provided me with lovely avocados and lemons. This week I decided to combine my avocado and lemons with some broad beans, as well as some mint and chives from my pandemic garden,…
busy with beans
One of the things that is really terrific about my veg box is they give me things I don’t normally buy, like broad beans. They also often provide me with a lot more of the plant than just the usual parts of the veg that you get in the store or the package, which means…
lovely noodles
My veg box arrived with beautiful courgette/zucchini, lemons, and tomatoes, so I figured I’d make a quick salad and sandwich for lunch. There is nothing like a tomato sandwich with salt, pepper, and fresh lemon thyme. The salad is lovely and fresh with a good crunch and a good way to use extra courgette/zucchini without…
lockdown tabbouleh
I had stunning lemons and some gorgeous tomatoes in my veg box, as well as a whole lotta curly parsley to use up, since I just got some beautiful flat parsley in my veg box this week, so I decided to try my hand at tabbouleh using what I had in the kitchen: 2 bunches…
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…
