The basis for this easy-to-make roast vegetable dish comes from our Canadian friends Lehna and Jamie. They call it Jamie’s Amazing Broccoli And Veggie Sausage Roast but we’re probably not allowed to do that, on account of Jamie’s name being claimed as a brand by a rather more famous chef. We’re erring on the side of caution and calling it the…
Vitamin B Salad
Image: Scott Jones / MothershipUK I have to admit, I have a thing about the letter B. I doodle it in margins, and swoop it in sparklers. Luckily, my passion is not un-founded. Not only are there two in my name, and my blood type B+ – it turns out that B vitamins are incredibly,…
Smoky Lentil and Tomato Soup
After the Amsterdam marathon recently, my running buddies and I treated ourselves to dinner on the town. Well, it wasn’t quite on the town, as we were a) preserving our post-mara muscles by staying close to our hotel and b) skint. We found a great place with the use of my trusty 2008 guide book….
Celeriac and Sweet Potato Savoury Crumble
There are some vegetables that strike fear in my heart. Celeriac comes top of the list. I mean, it looks like an Ood (if you’re not a fan of Doctor Who, a) why not?! and b) this is an Ood). That is to say, it’s not an attractive vegetable and so gnarly and strange it’s…
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…
Spiced Rice Pudding
I love rice pudding but often find it sweet and cloying, altogether too reminiscent of school dinners for my liking. This one satisfies my need for a rich dessert without being sickly – the recipe doesn’t use much sugar, with most of its sweetness coming from the raisins. We sometimes forget about desserts when we’re…
Bibi’s Birthday Fruity Chelsea Buns
It was my birthday on Monday, and both my boyfriend and I took the day off work. Did we take advantage of this by going out raving on Sunday night, spending my birthday hungover on the sofa? Did we heck. A birthday is a day for doing your favourite things. So, we went for a…
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…
Easiest Broccoli and Stilton Soup Ever
This is the easiest soup in the world to make. Really. Made from Bibi’s own recipe, it uses only three ingredients – yes, three! – and is at least 1000x better than any you can buy in the shops. Stilton cheese has its own website with loads of fascinating facts (really!) and this information on…
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…
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…
