I’m still working my way through this purple cabbage. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Today I decided to try out Vegan Richa’s Mac n cheese sauce that she says is just as nice on vegetables as it is on noodles. Also, it calls for potatoes and carrots, which I also had in…

baked radishes
This week I had the biggest radishes I’d ever seen in my veg box. I wasn’t sure what you even do with big radishes. So I figured I would chop them and roast them with a bit of oil, honey, salt, and pepper at 200C/400F for about 15 mins. Turns out that is a completely…
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,…
courgette cake
Ottolenghi has some fabulous recipes for savoury cakes/loaves and I decided to use some of the beautiful courgettes/zucchini in my veg box to try out one. Normally, I stick to a recipe pretty faithfully, but this time I made a number of changes and they worked reasonably well. I decided to see if this could…
pear cake
As it happens, I am pretty allergic to apples, which makes this time of year a bit of a nightmare. Pears, in moderation, don’t seem to bother me, and have been getting some beautiful pears in my veg box. The problem is, because I do pears in moderation, they often build up and I found…
ancho chipotle butternut squash soup
This soup isn’t a looker, I know. But the verdict was, from the thanksgiving social distancing hikers, it was tasty. This week I got a giant butternut squash in my veg box, so I will be on a series of butternut squash adventures. I figured like everyone with butternut squash, I’d make soup. This was…
creamed corn with fresh tomatoes
My veg box arrived with some great corn and I decided to use part of it in a black bean soup and the rest I would make a bit of a cheat creamed corn. The incredibly talented Jocelyn Delk Adams has a blog called “Grandbaby cakes” with some outstanding Southern cooking and I decided to…
coconut potatoes and other stuff
This potato salad is a winner as long as you’re a fan of coconut and a whisper of curry. It is a play on Meera Sodha’s coconut potatoes which I really love and make all the time: https://www.sainsburysmagazine.co.uk/recipes/sides/coconut-potatoes It is amazing as is, but here I’m adding some purple carrots and diced courgette/zucchini from my…
potatoes and carrots
This week I had a bunch of really pretty bunch of purple carrots, a leek, and lovely little potatoes in my veg box. I decided to make some carrot top pesto for some pesto potato salad and roast up a couple of carrots with some of the leek for a topping on a open faced…
deconstructed bruschetta
I had an awkward amount of vine tomatoes from my veg box that needed to be eaten immediately. Too many for salad for one, but too few for tomato soup. I also discovered I had a stale ciabatta roll and figured maybe I could put them together in the oven as a yummy dish where…
