Well, the UK is on lockdown and I’m so grateful to my extraordinary veg box people who have stepped up and delivered amazing food to the doorsteps of so so so many in my community without missing a beat. Cambridge Organic Food Company, you guys are the best! I made pita yesterday and filled them…

purple cabbage take one
I received a giant purple cabbage in my veg box which is a big adventure for me. I do like cabbage and I suspect it has some great nutritional value, but I won’t lie, this is a big cabbage. So, friends, here we go, meal one with my giant cabbage. Accompanying my protein is some…
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…
cauliflower leaves
If you’re someone whose keen on using as many parts of the vegetable as possible, you might enjoy my lunch today: roasted cauliflower leaves and tomato lemon bulgar wheat pilaf. If you like a roasted brassica (Brussels sprout or cabbage), you’ll probably like this too. I saved the leaves from my veg box cauliflower, tossed…
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…
my favourite vegan bolognese sauce
My veg box this week had a cauliflower which made me think about making a batch of my favourite bolognese sauce. Look, if you’re hoping this is gonna taste like the meaty deliciousness made by some Italian grandmother, it will disappoint. However, it is full of veg, has the right mouthfeel for bolognese sauce, and…
roasted cauliflower
This week I received a small cauliflower in my veg box. I decided to roast half in the oven, which turned out surprisingly well. Maybe because my cauliflower was small, maybe because it was half? In any case, it was awesome on the rocket/arugula I also got in my veg box. Here is what I…
purslane bulgar wheat salad
I had purslane in my veg box which is a leafy green I’d never had before, until I had a veg box! And it is lovely. It is a soft unassuming leaf, a little like spinach. I figured it would be nice in a salad with the tomatoes and avocado also in my veg box,…
courgette galette
I had a little pie crust left from the pie I made, so I decided to make a galette for one with some courgette/zucchini and onion from my veg box. This can easily be scaled up to a galette for more than one, and would work well with any store-bought pastry. This is also super…
blood orange juice
I had a few blood oranges, satsumas (or clementines maybe), and regular oranges in my veg box and decided to make some juice (I have the citrus juicer attachment on my stand mixer). It is just ridiculously beautiful. And also nice with sparkling water. Blood oranges weren’t something I ever really had until I got…
