Learning about vegetables
I’m still working my way through McGee On Food and Cooking. Honestly, this book is a treasure trove. I’ve ordered my copy and I can’t wait for it to arrive. At the moment, I’m in the vegetables chapter, which is…
Recipe: Roast Garlic and White Bean Chilli
Photographic evidence of Cross-Dressing Ken’s latest cake adventures will be up later this evening, but I just need to get this recipe down before I forget what I did! This is another vegan chilli recipe, but this time it’s gluten…

Recipe: Baked Cauliflower
This is a very simple recipe, from a book called Reds, Whites, and Greens, by Faith Willunger. As you might have gathered from the title, it’s a book of Italian things to do with vegetables. I’m yet to find a…
Recipe: Beetroot Gnocchi
Back before I started obsessing over sourdough, I reviewed Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros. I’ve been wondering which recipe to choose from her book to share with you as an example of her work. Should I pick the gorgeous…
