I was so happy when I had broccoli in my veg box because my friend had made the bang bang broccoli recipe in the Guardian and said it was fabulous. I decided to try it and indeed it was fabulous! It is easy and delicious and vegan (you can use whatever milk you want) and…

breakfast peppers
I had a few lovely long green peppers in my vegbox and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I decided to stuff them with things I might like for breakfast and have stuffed breakfast peppers! What I did is get some vegan sausage and break them into tiny pieces and mix them…
pear and chocolate scones
I’ve had a lot of nice pears in my veg box so I thought I’d try a simple and plain pear and chocolate scone recipe. I made this with oatmilk and not the heavy cream. You can use butter or vegan butter. I used an egg, but I suspect this would be fine with a…
creamy herbed potatoes
I know, it seems way too hot to turn on your oven today. However, I had some nice onions and potatoes in my veg box, a bunch of herbs in my pandemic garden, and this little carton of Oatley single cream I’ve been wanting to try, so I thought I’d do some scalloped potatoes/potatoes au…
potato parsnip au gratin
My veg box provides me with all the lovely greens, but also all the comforting root veg as well, because sometimes you just want the casserole dish equivalent of a hug. And this is kinda that. Although this takes a long time to bake, it is super easy and makes the most out of some…
parsnip potato soup
This week I had some really lovely parsnips in my veg box so I decided to make some soup. This nice creamy soup is an easy one that comes together with 2 big parsnips chopped, a big potato chopped, half an chopped onion and some olive oil, salt and pepper in a big pan in…
potato lasagna
So, I made a ton of bolognese sauce and I decided to make a tiny lasagna but sadly I didn’t have noodles. However, I did have potatoes from my veg box, so I decided to make potato lasagna. It was surprisingly good. Here is what I did. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. I made a…
cream of broccoli soup
I’m on a bit of a soup kick at the moment. What I wanted was fast cream of broccoli soup. I figured maybe it would cook up faster if I blitzed my broccoli, onion, garlic, and parsley in a food processor first. And I think it did. If you don’t get lovely veg box broccoli,…
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…
mushroom soup
My veg box had some gorgeous mushrooms, potatoes, and onions which made me think mushroom soup might be nice! You’ll need a lot of sliced mushrooms (maybe 200g), an diced onion, a chopped potato, some olive oil, a couple of stock cubes, the dairy you like (I used oat milk, some nutritional yeast, lemon juice,…
