A while back when I had a beautiful Savoy cabbage in my veg box I made cabbage rolls. This time when I had a Savoy cabbage I decided to fill them with rice, smoked tofu, mushrooms from my vegbox, and some black bean paste. It was really nice and freezes well. Here is what I…

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…
veg bolognese sauce
I had a variety of lovely veg in my veg box I thought would be nice in a bolognese sauce: carrots, red and green peppers, onion. This recipe uses a lot of veg including mushrooms, garlic, tinned tomatoes, and cauliflower. It gets added texture from nuts, and I used a combo of almonds and cashews…
late summer bowl
It has been very warm like summer the past few days and my veg box had lovely late summer veg like courgette/zucchini and green beans. I decided to sauté them with some of the lovely mushrooms from my box and also with a patty pan squash I was gifted from my neighbour (from her allotment)…
roasted mushroom ragout
I had a few big meaty mushrooms in my vegbox so I decided to do a small size version of Noor Murad’s delicious mushroom ragout. It is a simple and satisfying dish that involves roasting mushrooms and onions, then adding a purée of tomatoes and spices, and then roasting it all some more. Because I…
cool summer salads
It was hot today and so cool easy salads were what I needed. These three are low effort and using not too many ingredients: spicy brown lentils with tomatoes and lemon; potato, green bean, and rocket/arugula salad with honey mustard dressing; and herby mushrooms with sourdough croutons. You can add feta or mozzarella to any…

My veg box this week had lovely radishes which made me remember my friend Sarah telling me how lovely they are thinly sliced on toast with butter. I admit when I heard this, it seems like a sketchy plan, but turns out it is simple and absolutely delicious. Really. I also had a handful of…

my favourite vegan bolognese sauce
My veg box this week had a cauliflower which made me think about making a batch of my favourite bolognese sauce. Look, if you’re hoping this is gonna taste like the meaty deliciousness made by some Italian grandmother, it will disappoint. However, it is full of veg, has the right mouthfeel for bolognese sauce, and…
creamy pasta
I had a really lovely courgette/zucchini this week, so I used part of it and some of the mushrooms in my box to make a creamy lemon, courgette, mushroom pasta using oatmilk.Turns out you can make a béchamel sauce using non-dairy spread, flour, and oatmilk, pretty much the same way you would make it with…
