One of my favourite meals is the butternut and lentil salad I put in the jar for the market. I always make enough for us to have some, least for a side. This week, a jar came home from the market, so there

Last night's meatless Monday supper should have been lentil salad, but the turning season called for a warm meal. So, I turned Saturday's Moroccan lentil salad in the jar into a warm bowl of lentils and

As usual for most seasons, other than winter, last night's meatless Monday supper came out of the jar. This week, it was the raw, marinated courgettes. I served them on a bed of leaves and added a few

Last night's meat free supper came, as usual, out of jars. This carrot salad with tzatziki is one of our favourites. I usually serve it in pita, but because I had some sourdough starter to discard, I made

It was another not salad supper evening, so Saturday's Moroccan lentil salad #inthejar became a bake. Layered with brinjal from the garden, some sautéed onion and garlic combined with some tomato and harissa

Last night's meat free Monday supper is as close as I get to convenience foods. Just about. Not having to actually cook last night, really suited me. As usual, most of it came out of jars. These were

Last night was another Mediterranean inspired and seasonal meat free Monday. It was inspired by our garden brinjals. I roasted and marinated it, and separately also roasted peppers and onions. I arranged

Normal programming, happily, has mostly resumed. I admit that it's good and especially so as I meet with clients to confirm work - for the next month and potentially longer. With that, and not that I've

Hello V-Gang!, It is another meat-free Monday and I am back in the kitchen after a 2-month hiatus and I am preparing a tasty vegan lunch. I made today fried zucchini with garlic zucchini fried rice. This

May all our clouds this year, be as pretty and benign as this one. Yesterday was a not entirely quiet day: I spent at least half of it in my other office the kitchen. More of that soon - it's summer harvest

Last night's meat free Monday supper was easy. Mostly courtesy, as usual, of market fare. I admit that I was unusually grateful because last week's long days, especially Saturday's 18 hours, is smacking

I got a real kick out of looking back at yesterday and realising that it had been a "normal" Monday. For me, that means knuckling down and getting through the crud that has piled up since Thursday.

Hello V-Gang!, It is another meat-free Monday and I am back in the kitchen after a break last week and I am preparing a tasty vegan lunch. I have made today a vegan replacement version of the dubious B.L.T..

Sometimes I don't like Mondays. Yesterday was one of them. No, the events didn't send me down the path of the story immortalised in this Boomtown Rats song from the 80s but by the end of the day, I was

This week, we had our meat free Monday on Tuesday because we were out for dinner on Monday. Although our hosts know that I'm a proponent of Meat Free Monday, far be it from me to decline an invitation

That was how my Monday began. Glorious, but it should have been a warning of things to come - you know what they say about red skies in the morning... That, until I took to the kitchen, was the best part

Last night was my second effort at making pita breads. Again, I made a full batch of dough but only four pitas. The other half of the dough is in the fridge for another meal. Our Monday meatless meal was

After a lull, I'm preoccupied with my day job (I'm busy - yay!) and matters market. I - and we - are getting better organised. I have a new trommel a little larger than the first one that I got about a

Lentils I do like lentils. Especially the red ones. I've been looking for a recipe to make patties for an age. I have a chickpea patty recipe (falafel really). It's nice, but...anyway, browsing somewhere,
