chinese 5 spice soup

So I had a few odds and sods to use up from my veg box and I don’t like to let any of my nice veg go to waste, so I decided to make some clear soup with lots of ginger from my box and Chinese 5 spice, which I really enjoy and don’t use…

pumpkin and black eyed pea soup

I had a darling little pumpkin in my veg box that I had been meaning to use for a while, so I decided to make it into a soup version of Meera Sodha’s delicious pumpkin curry I love so much. It turned out really well. Here is what I did. I warmed some oil in…

She adds whipped feta, but any crumbled non-dairy/dairy cheese is nice here. I decided I wanted a protein boost,…

peanut stew

I had a lot of little bits and bobs leftover from my veg box to use up: ends of red and green peppers, some small potatoes, a few small sweet potatoes, a courgette/zucchini, onion, tomato, and a couple of carrots. Rather than a minestrone, I decided to give a peanut stew a try, because I…

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…
