Caramelised Onion And Cheddar Quiche
I have baked countless quiches and savoury tarts over the years. I have my long-time favourites, and it is rare that a new quiche recipe tempts me. But recently, we tried a shop-bought, factory produced caramelised onion quiche and it was so incredibly bland, I decided to try to make my own. This is another … Continue reading Caramelised Onion And Cheddar Quiche
Jerusalem Artichoke Wedges With Garlic Mayonnaise
This past winter, Robert and I developed a taste for one particular ingredient - Jerusalem artichokes. I featured a recipe for a soup I made frequently using this superstar legume, but I have also made gratins and other dishes featuring this beautiful and yet rather ugly addition to our pantry. One of ways we used … Continue reading Jerusalem Artichoke Wedges With Garlic Mayonnaise

Tofu And Cavolo Nero Sambal
Veganuary is proving sublimely delicious so far, and I have yet another treat for you. There are several plant-based recipes featuring tofu on my blog, but this was one of the best.

Herby Chestnut And Cheddar Cobbler With Celeriac
I have saved this recipe back for a while. I discovered it almost a year ago in an Ocado magazine, and although there seemed to be a lot of ingredients to make it a fuss free casserole dish, I would not want to tamper with this recipe. It was the most tasty dish - one … Continue reading Herby Chestnut And Cheddar Cobbler With Celeriac
Braised Leeks With Miso
I regularly buy leeks, and usually serve them either buttered or with a cheesey sauce or use them in other dishes. Many months ago, I found myself with an enormous leek that would not fit into the fridge. I decided I would use it up straight away, but I wanted to do something interesting with … Continue reading Braised Leeks With Miso
Baked Vegetarian Meatballs With Tomato And Mascarpone
Quick, tasty, simple dinners - they are the backbone of a household. I grew up on my dear Mother's spaghetti and meatballs, and since we have moved to a mostly plant-based diet we have tried some of the vegetarian and vegan ready prepared meatballs on supermarket shelves. I enjoyed the size and texture of the … Continue reading Baked Vegetarian Meatballs With Tomato And Mascarpone
Butternut Squash, Lentil And Chestnut Roast
This was a recipe tucked away in a little booklet within a Waitrose magazine. I tried it once, and I I would like to try it again with a few tweaks. I love all of the ingredients that go into this dish - the chestnuts, lentils, goats cheese, rosemary with the squash, with that fabulous … Continue reading Butternut Squash, Lentil And Chestnut Roast
Moroccan Carrot Soup
Some soups bring momentary enjoyment, but are quickly forgotten. I have made so many soups that just are not worth sharing with you, but I like to share soups that look and taste sensational. When I first saw a Waitrose recipe card detailing this soup, I was not particularly enticed for some reason. However, when … Continue reading Moroccan Carrot Soup
