I was so happy when I had broccoli in my veg box because my friend had made the bang bang broccoli recipe in the Guardian and said it was fabulous. I decided to try it and indeed it was fabulous! It is easy and delicious and vegan (you can use whatever milk you want) and…

kimchi potato, carrot, and green bean salad
Happily I’ve had purple potatoes and green beans in my vegbox and I’ve decided to experiment with a different salad. Sana Javari Kadri runs a gorgeous spice company I follow on Instagram (@Diasporaco) and she had a really yummy recipe for green beans with a kimchi dressing. Here is her amazing recipe: https://www.lettucegrow.com/recipes/green-beans-with-kimchi-vinaigrette-and-frizzled-green-onions It looked…
aubergine and feta rolls
This is a lovely thing to do with an aubergine/eggplant. It makes for a nice filling in a bun or on toast or a side dish or starter. All you need is aubergine/eggplant, olive oil, a can of tomatoes, garlic, some spices, non dairy/dairy feta and a bit of milk to loosen it up, fresh…
broccoli stalk spread
I had a tiny broccoli in my veg box which was perfect for some broccoli carrot peanut noodles, but I wanted a use for the large stalk I had leftover. I decided to make a nutty, sorta cheesy, vegan spread for bagels/toast. It isn’t a looker, but it is rather nice! Here is what I…
breakfast peppers
I had a few lovely long green peppers in my vegbox and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I decided to stuff them with things I might like for breakfast and have stuffed breakfast peppers! What I did is get some vegan sausage and break them into tiny pieces and mix them…
coconut peanut rice

rainbow chard pasta with olive tapenade
I wanted a simple pasta dinner that made use of the beautiful rainbow chard I had in my veg box. This was super fast, easy, and delicious. Here is what I did. Set a pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta. While pasta is cooking, separate chard stems from leaves, and sauté stems…
rainbow curry
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….
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,…
smokey red pepper and tomato sauce
This morning my friend told me about this super yummy red pepper pasta salad recipe she made, and insisted I make. Since my vegbox provided most of the stuff I needed, and I was just missing the pasta, I figured I would give it a go. Or at least something like it, and stick it…
