Sunday When I made the butternut squash and cauliflower soup from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s More Veg, the other day, I made enough for four portions. I ate one and stuck the other three portions in the freezer. At the time of eating the soup, I had thought that it would be improved with some cheese and…

5 things I liked this week – 20.10.17
1. S has a fantastic school trip to Ypres, I am full of admiration for the teachers who took a coach load of teenagers to Europe and back, in a day, on their day off (it was a Saturday). 2. I’ve eaten well this week, More Veg by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has already proved itself to…
On the menu – More ‘More Veg’, ‘The Art of the Larder’ plus another cake from Nigella
Friday This one was from The Art of the Larder by Clare Thomson, really simple but really nice, spaghetti* with pecorino and black pepper says it all really.

On the menu – more Hugh, Nigella and Ed Smith plus some John Whaite

On the menu – Potato-fest, guest starring carrots, chickpeas and onions
Friday (Veggie) sausages and mash scream for red onions in some form of accompaniment. Or to be strictly truthful, I desperately wanted to make the Garlic and Parmesan Mash from Nigella’s new book and mash = sausages = red onions. Anyway, the mash was lovely, as were the red onions, which were also from a…
On the menu – ‘soup’, stew, banana bread and stir fry
Friday I was so excited when I learnt that Miguel Barclay had a second One Pound Meals book coming out, I loved the first book and I’ve made so many recipes from it but when I got my hands on Fast & Fresh, I was so distinctly underwhelmed, I thought about returning it (I have…
