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…

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…

sesame slaw
I’m working my way through my big purple kohlrabi, and today I made a sesame slaw salad. I used the same veg box veg (kohlrabi sliced with a mandolin and then chopped into match sticks, fat carrot sliced into ribbons with my peeler) and made a dressing by whisking a tsp of soy sauce, tsp…
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…
2-4-1 veg
It has been hot and like most people I haven’t felt much like making a fuss about dinner, so here are two easy things that don’t take much effort. I had a giant courgette/zucchini gifted to me from my kind neighbour, so I decided to make a dinner I enjoyed as a student—stuffed courgette/zucchini. Here…
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,…
spring soup
I had some last legs veg that I wanted to use, so I decided that I’d try a different soup, because there are only so many puréed soups a girl can do. This is sorta spring vegetable barley soup, I guess. My lovely lettuce was not fit for sandwiches because it is a bit wilted,…
green soup
Today I thought I’d make something with all the green veg in my veg box that would go with toast or a sandwich (but it ended up being toast because I was too lazy to sort out a sandwich). I had a huge head of lovely leaf lettuce, a smallish courgette/zucchini, a green pepper (that…
plague pitas
Well, the UK is on lockdown and I’m so grateful to my extraordinary veg box people who have stepped up and delivered amazing food to the doorsteps of so so so many in my community without missing a beat. Cambridge Organic Food Company, you guys are the best! I made pita yesterday and filled them…
