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…
potato and kale with coriander chutney and pudla
I had some lovely kale and potatoes in my veg box so I decided to make Mera Sodha’s Pakistani style spinach and potatoes, but using kale rather than spinach. It worked out really well, I just chopped my kale finely and sautéed it with the onions. This is hugely moreish and hard not to have…

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…

I had all the beautiful colours in my vegbox this week, so I decided to make Meera Sodha’s new potato, chard, and coconut curry recipe. Since I had carrots and green beans in my box, I threw those in with my potatoes and rainbow chard. This tastes as lovely as it looks. I’m so pleased….
kale and potato salad
I had loads of fluffy kale and tiny delicious new potatoes in my veg box, and since it is so hot, I decided to make a simple salad. This salad works if you really love kale already. If you don’t, this might not convert you. You can add non-dairy/dairy feta, faux/real tuna with Mayo, olives,…
soup hack
So, I had a beautiful head of broccoli and some potatoes in my veg box and so I decided to try a soup hack I had read on Cooks Illustrated about how to make your creamy veg soup more velvety. They suggest adding 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to your veg while you are boiling…
Mumbai pasties
I’m always glad for potatoes in my veg box because they are my favourite. Today I tried something different with my usual aloo recipe that I make about once a week (I have 3 potato recipes that sit in rotation: this aloo one, colcannon, and Anna Jones’s Greek potatoes). I decided to make a pasty…
