My friend and I had the same great idea to make use of our juice pulp! I use my vegbox oranges to make juice, then used the pulp in some carrot parsnip soup. It was a nice bright addition to a warming winter soup. Here is what I did. I sautéed in oil an onion…

root veg with couscous
Since the days are darker, I’m reposting this sunny, bright lunch staple that makes use of wonderful vegbox root veg like potatoes, parsnips, carrots, celeriac (if you have it), and I always use fennel, as well as vegbox oranges and lemons. This wonderful Anna Jones recipe is a flavourful, savoury, turmeric-spiked, citrusy salad that is…
pumpkin, chickpea, potato, artichoke stew
This stew is not a looker, but it is incredibly satisfying. It is a based on the fantastic Moosewood recipe which I used to make all the time for hungry people. Not only is it fabulously tasty, but it will accommodate all manner of root veg along with the obligatory potatoes, and it makes use…
happy mash
I went to bed thinking about colcannon (a bit of Irish happiness made of creamy mashed potatoes and cabbage) and woke up thinking of colcannon, so decided to see if I could make something like it for lunch. This isn’t exactly colcannon. Well, it isn’t colcannon at all really, since I decided to branch out…
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…
pear and parsnip cake
I had a pear and a parsnip left and decided to bake them into a tiny cake for my wonderful friend Sabine. The pear adds some flavour, but mostly takes the place of some oil. The cake is vegan, but the icing is not, although feel free to use your favourite vegan icing. This recipe…
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…
flower sprout mash
This week I had the mystery veg in my box: gorgeous purple flower sprouts! This is how my veg box people describe flower sprouts “Flower sprouts are a cross between curly kale and Brussels sprouts. The flower sprouts themselves are individual little ‘flowers’, effectively Brussels sprouts which have opened out and got a curly kale…
odds and ends shepherd’s pie
I was trying to decide what to do with the handful of random veg I had kicking around in my veg box (a medium parsnip, a couple of carrots, some brussel sprout leaves, leftover shredded lemony sprouts). Turns out, shepherd’s pie is a good place for random, lonely veg. Ingredients 300-400g of the protein you…
