potato, bean, tofu salad with harissa dressing

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…

green and white bean stew

Meera Sodha had recipe for a light summer stew with a rich vegan aioli, that I thought I would try, since the stew was mainly green beans and celery, both of which I had in my veg box this week. I also added some spinach for extra green. It was exactly how she described it,…

tofu, mushroom, black bean cabbage rolls

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…

tofu, brussels sprouts, black bean paste stir-fry on rice

Perhaps not the most exciting photo of the brussels sprouts from my veg box, which were adorable and picture perfect before they hit the pan, but they were still super tasty. Thanks to my veg box, and a fair bit of British encouragement, I’m a brussels sprout convert. This was a fast and yummy dinner…

purple cabbage tofu noodles

With good news of a new American president, I didn’t have any celebratory blue food for the democrat win, but my veg box did have a wonderful purple cabbage. Purple cabbage makes for a great and fast noodle bowl, so if you’re interested, here is what I did. I sliced my cabbage into thin ribbons,…

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…

tofu and greens on a baguette

I had some fabulous pakchoi/bokchoy in my veg box, and it turns out that it is super great in a sandwich! If you sauté it with a little soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and peanut oil and some tofu (I had some deep fried tofu they sell at the Asian grocery near me), it is amazing!…

oodles of noodles

I’m guessing from my veg box company’s Facebook post, that some more people in my area are now having veg box adventures too! I had some pakchoi/bokchoy in my box which I love because it gets silky soft when it is cooked. I decided to have it with some smoked tofu and noodles. This is…

taco tuesday

Tacos! In my veg box was peaches, fennel, oranges, onions, and tomatoes, so I thought I would try some fun fresh tacos. Grilled smoked tofu, Lauren Toyota’s watermelon peach salsa, and some homemade fennel parsley slaw. This watermelon peach salsa is SO tasty. It is absolutely addictive and worth making loads so you have some…
