The other reason I haven’t been blogging much recently is that my meals have either been fairly mundane or fairly unsuccessful. This does not lend itself to food blogging as well as you might think. One of the less successful…

Recipe: Macaroni Cheese with chipotle pepper, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables
Ah, cheesy pasta bake. The best comfort food in the world, not least because you can put practically anything in it successfully. Pasta bakes are my go-to dish when I have a lot of random vegetables in the fridge and…
Recipe: A Stew for Spring
This is lightly adapted from a recipe in Jack Bishop’s book The Complete Italian Vegetarian. Mostly, I adapted it by screwing it up. But you don’t need to do that part. The rest of the adaptation was a matter of…
Recipe: Not Really Moussaka
So I had this idea about making vegetarian moussaka with some of the leftovers and veggies I had in the house. And I looked at the Delia vegetarian moussaka, and liked the look of it, so I thought I’d give…

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: Vegetarian Chilli
DON’T FORGET TO SOAK YOUR BEANS! (putting them in to soak before you go to work in the morning is fine) This recipe is adapted from one of the Moosewood Cookbooks – I’m afraid I can’t recall which, as I…
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…
