I feel so pretentious even writing ‘quail eggs’ in the title of this. Suddenly, it’s like I’m on Posh Nosh and I should be writing a recipe which says things like ‘mellifluously confuse the quail eggs until they are a…

Recipe: Too Tired To Cook Veggies and Cheese on Toast
Tomorrow is my RDO, and I have every intention of spending it sleeping, because the last few weeks have been brutal. It isn’t that I don’t enjoy socialising, but it has been pretty relentless, both at home and at work.…
Recipe: Balsamic Strawberry Parfait
Strawberries again. What can I say? They are still deliciously cheap. This is one of my favourite desserts. I like to pretend its healthy, but that’s basically a lie. I also don’t measure anything anymore, so this is a bit…
Recipe: Macaroni Cheese with chipotle pepper, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables

Not a proper recipe for not entirely Greek Salad
I think I may have to start a section of this journal for recipes that aren’t proper recipes but which people ask me for. You know, for recipes like pasta bolognese or fruit crumble, which are a handful of this,…
Recipe: Potato and Kale Enchiladas
By request, another recipe adapted from Veganomicon, and the last I’m going to post this year, for reasons of fair use. Mostly what I changed in this recipe was the chilli sauce, which developed quite a different range of chillis…
