Recently, we did a Listen To Your Body post on eating – you know, recognising your cravings and trying to understand why you’re getting them. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, it’s probably starting to feel pretty wintry for you. That means your body’s telling you to stay indoors and pile on a few pounds,…
Crispy Baked Cauliflower Cheese
Photo by Zsolt – www.zsoltsandor.com This recipe has been passed down through our family for generations. Not by my mother, who is a wonderful woman but – god love her – not what you’d call much of a cook. No, sorry, I malign her unfairly: she can knock up a 70s-style buffet from nowhere and…
Sweet Potato and Leek Pie with Goats Cheese Topping
I have, in my many years on this planet, learned that some people are good at some things and slightly rubbish at others. It’s a fact. I mean, I agree with Malcolm Gladwell that you have to put the hours in to achieve world class status but a core talent can be really useful. Sadly,…
Roasted Augergine with Cashew Nut Pesto
First, on naming – they’re aubergines to some, eggplant to others and brinjal to others still. You know the things I mean though – purple, sheeny and strangely lovely to hold (or is that just me?) It’s a little known fact that they’re also low in fat and calories but practically ooze the B-complex vitamins…
Sesame Baked Tofu with Aromatic Stir Fry
Photos by Zsolt – www.zsoltsandor.com One of our favourite restaurants in the whole wide world is Rebar in Victoria, British Columbia. We haven’t actually been everywhere in the whole wide world, of course, but we have been to this restaurant many times, mainly because a) it is wonderful and b) we used to live just up…
Tofu Pho – What the pho? It’s Vietnamese noodle soup.
All over North America, there are restaurants that serve Pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup. And more often than not, they have a puntastic name (it’s said like our naughtiest swearword, without the ‘ck’ on the end) – “What the Pho” “Pho Sho” “Pho Shizzle”. So far, so good. (Who doesn’t love puns?!) But did I…
The Best Roasted Butternut Squash Ever
I wouldn’t say this is the best unless it were true. Mum and I ate this as part of our carbo-loading feast before the Blenheim Palace Half-Marathon last week and we were still going on about how good it was at about mile 10. Mum has begged me to get this posted asap so that…
Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Lasagne
This dish was invented by my good friend, Cathie, when she invited me for Sunday lunch one day. To be honest, she wasn’t planning on innovating. She rang me and said: ‘What time are you coming? The chicken’s nearly ready.’ ‘But I don’t eat chicken,’ I replied. ‘You do eat chicken!’ she said. ‘I’ve seen…
Stilton, Spinach and Quinoa Risotto
I used to have a bit of a problem with quinoa, bothered its unfamiliarity (we didn’t have quinoa in Middlesbrough when I was a girl) and its stupid pronunciation (I say that not in a xenophobic way; I just didn’t get it! Or is that what a xenophobe would say…?) Anyway, quinoa – ‘keen-wah’ –…
Aubergine and Spinach Curry
I’ve heard people say they don’t like aubergines but, on closer investigation (just call me Ace Detective Janey Dodge), it’s rarely the taste that they object to. It’s the texture that generally seems to be the problem. They’re either not soft enough and have a kind of rubbery, teeth-on-edge consistency, or they’re too mushy and…
Mushroom and Sweet Potato Frittata
It being Better Breakfast Week in the UK, and maybe elsewhere in the world too, the best meal of the day has been on our minds a great deal. In truth, breakfast is on our minds a lot. We never go to bed without making sure that we have something good ready for breakfast in…
Kalofagas – Greek Stuffed Vegetables
This recipe was given to us by Helen, who tells you who she is below. It’s a good source of carbs, dietary fibre and Vitamins A, B and C, along with a host of valuable minerals. Don’t let’s get too earnest though – it’s also a wonderful treat for the tastebuds. It’s vegetarian but we’ve…
