  • Quick Sriracha Greens

    Quick Sriracha Greens

    Second run out for this (See here), it’s quick and delicious. Only difference this time is that I finished the egg as described in the recipe under the grill. Probably…

  • Hoisin Cashew Chow Mein

    Hoisin Cashew Chow Mein

    Really good, simple & quick. The sugarsnaps and mangetout are fresh and snappy, and it’s a nice use of hoisin, which can often be too sweet and cloying. From Stir…

  • Cashew Curry

    Cashew Curry

    Honestly wasn’t a fan of this. The flavours were pleasant, but the textures of the cashew and the chickpeas just weren’t appealing to me. Perhaps making it more rich would…

  • Veggie Moussaka

    Veggie Moussaka

    Sweet potato and goat's cheese balls

    The challenge with “meatballs” containing spinach and sweet potato is most definitely the moisture.  Squeezing the wilted spinach well is obviously required.  But the potato is trickier.  Leaving the mashed…

  • Grilled polenta and veggie mess

    Grilled polenta and veggie mess

    Concocted from the left-overs of the previous night’s polenta, poured into a tray while still hot and left to cool then sliced into adorable triangles.  The general consensus is that…

  • Polenta and pickled roots

    Polenta and pickled roots

    I was somewhat nonplussed by the individual parts of this recipe as I was cooking.  The polenta was fine, albeit uninspiring; roast pickled veg wasn’t blowing my mind; and the…
