Garden Greens with Tamari, Ginger & Lime
So, I finally made it out into the garden in between the showers of rain and to my surprise there was a fair few greens ready for the taking…ok so some of them had bolted but I thought the flowers were pretty and made a nice feature on the windowsill. A quick turn in [...]
Warm Griddled Vegetable Salad with Chickpeas and Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
What a week! In fact I should say what a few weeks. A lost camera lead, general technology meltdown, a virus and a lost recipe notepad….wowzers. Thank goodness today’s recipe is straight forward in both the ingredients and method. Such a chirpy little salad with its bold hits of flavour made me yearn for the [...]
Climate Change Week Recipe for The Vegan Society
This week is Climate Change Week and the good folks over there are bringing awareness to a global issue in a number of interesting ways. Definitely worth popping over to their site to check out what has and is going on. I had the good fortune to be asked to submit a recipe for [...]
Leek & Onion Egg-less Frittata
Not too long ago I was raving about the wonderful omelette that I had made for my brunch. Feeling a bit guilty that my vegan friends would have not been able to share that recipe I devised a special treat that we can all enjoy. I have been told by an egg oficiando (that will [...]
The Day After the Night Before: Brunch
I went to bed really late last night and I have had a very physically busy week so when I finally awoke from my sleepy haze I was ready for something substantial to eat. Not technically a day that would normally involve a lazy brunch, but I thought that I would treat myself and [...]
Broad Bean Garlic Pate with Coriander Oil
I really really love hummus but sometimes you just need a bit of a change. Something else to add into the mix and offer a new solution to the “now what shall I spread on this?” dilemma. This quick and easy little recipe is just the ticket, easily adaptable to encompass a range of seasonal [...]
Valentine Love Feast Part I
So it is nearly that time of year again….that special time which either makes you want to gag or turn into cupid himself. I fall somewhere in between…whilst I am up for the romance (who wouldn’t be especially from the lovely Mr R?) having to make the effort after a day at work can be [...]
Broad Bean, Baked Potato and Leek Soup
Sometimes life just needs to be made as simple as possible. We need to eat, we want it to be nutritious and we have about 10 minutes to get the job done. This little number was born out of another ‘whats in the fridge?’ scenario and I have to say it really hits the spot. [...]
Jamaican Yam & Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Roasted Cherry Tomato Oregano sauce and Faux Parmesan
I have always wondered about the inclusion of alternative ingredients to a gnocchi recipe and in my wisdom decided to test it out with some Jamaican staples that I had at home over the festive season. In actual fact it turned out to be little more wholesome than the gnocchi that you may know and [...]
It’s All Going Butter Bean Crazy!
Ok, so it is another butter bean recipe. What can I say? I like ‘em. I ordered some with my veg box, I hadn’t used them until now and I am coming to terms with just how versatile the humble butter bean can be. Maybe I have just overlooked this over-sized legume in favour of [...]
