This recipe was inspired by my Shillingford veg box. I wanted a delicious meal that was hearty and flavoursome. This hit the spot! Obviously alongside the onions and spinach from my box there are plenty of larder items in this recipe. It’s always a good idea to keep a well stocked larder. I generally haveRead more
This is the easiest salad to put together and great for this time of year when those with allotments have a glut of cucumbers. The hardest thing is the chopping of the ingredients. From then on its an assembly job.
Another simple recipe using my Shillingford Organics Veg box. Perfect for this time of year and the barbecue season. You can’t get an easier recipe so give this a go. Perfect to serve with your barbecued fish, meat and vegetables but also great for a buffet or as a lighter accompaniment to a summery roastRead more
I was recently given the challenge by Shillingford Organics to create some recipes from their veg box. With it being barbecue season I figured I would do a few recipes that are perfect for outdoor eating. Of course you don’t have to limit this tzatziki recipe to the summer and barbecues.

Add a pinch of chilli flakes ifRead more

For National Vegetarian Week I thought I would share this delicious and easy recipe based loosely on a recipe from the Riverford Autumn and Winter Veg book. “Polonaise” means in the Polish style which refers to the tasty toppings of eggs, croutons, capers and parsley. You could serve other vegetables such as broccoli, leeks andRead more
These macaroons went down a storm at my recent Tara’s Busy Kitchen event. Simple to make and you can fill them with any jam you love. I used Louise’s Larder raspberry and violet jam and topped them with a raspberry but you can use your imagination. An easy but effective sweet treat that isRead more

Simple ingredients that are easy to combine to make a wonderful pudding. Beautifully moist (that will be the almonds) and gluten free too. I recently made it for one of my Tara’sRead more
