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…
Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Lasagne
The orange filling looks like sunshine, but the cosy lasagne is autumn all over. I guess this is the culinary equivalent of these sunny, freezing days we’ve been having. This is an easy dinner party dish, as it takes care of itself while you’re greeting people and eating nibbles. If people are a bit late,…
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…
Roasted Shallot, Quinoa and Sun-dried Tomato Salad
Long live the Maillard reaction! Upon the application of heat, the sugars in the shallots caramelise down in to a beautiful toffee buff. They become the perfect counterpoint to the sun dried tomatoes, which I sometimes find a bit too ferric for my liking otherwise. This was a happy-accident dinner salad that is beyond the…
Pistachio and Pinto Bean Casserole
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…
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…
