  • Veggie Moussaka

    Veggie Moussaka

    Bit stodgy, certainly my fault when making the roux. In fairness I just made a wheat flour based roux, which is not really intended. But damn it I just really…

  • Split Pea and Barley Thing

    Split Pea and Barley Thing

    This was thrown together with store cupboard items, just happened to find a recipe that fit the bill almost perfectly. Takes a little while, but very low effort. Like a…

  • Coconut dal

    Coconut dal

    This is advertised as a butternut dal, but honestly it’s the coconut that really shines through here.  Lovely and comforting, much more powerfully flavoured than most dals and combines less…

  • Bean and sweet potato burrito

    Bean and sweet potato burrito

    This is a bit of a faff, to be honest, but if you plan ahead and prepare the bean patty the night before it’s no too bad, and it was…

  • Polenta and pickled roots

    Polenta and pickled roots

  • Gnocchi and Dolcellate bake

    Gnocchi and Dolcellate bake

    Artery clogging indulgence. Extremely nice, although rather longer in the oven to really brown up was required in this case, I think. A slight tweak might be to add a…

  • Beetroot, Carrot and Soba

    Beetroot, Carrot and Soba

    There’s no accompanying picture in the recipe to this gothic looking dish, so I can’t confirm whether it’s supposed to look quite so dramatic.  However any such treatment of beetroot…

  • Spiced Cauliflower Soup

    Spiced Cauliflower Soup

    This is a lovely warming soup, quick, easy and cheap to make in bulk.  Perhaps I’d turn down the heat a notch, but then on another day this could easily…
