Last week Stew unfortunately fractured his wrist which has meant that I’ve had to cook solo this week. Queue frantically browsing Pinterest for inspiration! My first experimental dish was this indulgent cauliflower and almond risotto. We’d never made a risotto before, so I was even more eager to get nail it! Which I can safely…
If you enjoy vegetarian food, or partake in Meat Free Mondays, this dish could be for you! Lentils are great alternative to meat, and are really good for you. They help bulk up a meal, and add great flavour to a dish. We often use lentils in our curries, but they’re normally of the red…
There’s nothing better than a big bowl of warming, hearty soup, on a cold winter’s day. It seems to be one of our go-to meals just recently. It’s also great to make in large batches, and have leftovers for lunch at work for the week. Having already made and featured a spiced root vegetable soup,…
Today marks the final installment of my 6 day vegetable challenge with AO.com. They challenged me to make and eat 6 vegetarian dishes in one week. Although I’ve blogged about them every Tuesday over the last 6 weeks, I did in fact make them all in one week. It was a challenge, but a fun…
Part 5 of my 6 day vegetable challenge with AO.com is today’s post. And this week we have a spcicy vegetable soup! I can’t believe next week’s will be the last in the series! It’s certainly opened my eyes more to vegetarian recipes, how easy they ca be to create, and how amazing they can…
Part 4 of my 6 day vegetable challenge is here! This was up there with my favourite recipes from the week. How much does this look like steak? It’s in fact roasted aubergine, flavoured with miso paste. I had never heard of doing this before. The flavours are incredible. I really like miso, but I’ve…
This week’s recipe is one of my all time faves. Stew and I love to eat Indian food, and we’ve perfected our homemade curry recipe, to the point where we now offer it to every guest that comes to say. It’s the one meal I’m really proud of. For one of my vegetarian challenges with…
Part two of my six day vegetarian challenge with AO.com. If you missed last weeks, take a look here, and read all about my week of vegetables! This is the first ever pie we’ve attempted, and I’m really pleased with the results. I have to be honest, we didn’t make the pastry from scratch. Maybe…
The team at AO.com recently challenged me to cook and eat 6 vegetarian dishes in one week. Always up for a challenge, and a fan of many vegetable based dishes, I of course jumped at the chance. I was given 6 recipe cards and a box of colourful vegetables, and tasty vegetarian sauces, to get…
Having never previously cooked polenta, up until a couple of weeks ago, we’ve now made it three times in three weeks! We used it in the same way we did when we made meatballs, by creaming it with parmesan. This recipe calls for only a few ingredients, and makes a really delicious warm dish for…
By now, I’m sure you all know how much I adore Indian curries. They have to be my favourite dish. In fact, Indian food in general is my favourite cuisine, with Japanese coming a close second. Each time we make our beloved vegan curry – using the same recipe – we add a different vegetable,…
