I decided on Friday that I wanted to have a crack at that oven dal recipe I shared the other day on my list of pantry cooking. About halfway through, I informed Andrew that this was a good proof-of-concept experiment,…

Recipe: Carrot, Tomato and Chickpea Tagine with Saffron and Ras El Hanout
I was asked to organise a farewell lunch for one of my scientists at the local pub, which means organising pre-orders. They have a new menu this month, and one of the offerings caught my attention – heirloom carrot and…
Recipe: Pasta with Chickpeas and Greens
This is a recipe I made way back in August after being given a big bunch of broad bean leaves – I didn’t even know they were edible. It’s a nice, simple, wholesome dinner recipe, good for Boxing Day, when…
Recipe: Cauliflower, Carrot, Crouton and Beetroot Thing of Great Yumminess (Vegan!!)
As you might have discerned, I have no idea what to call this recipe. It’s sort of technically a main course salad, though a salad with absolutely nothing green in it doesn’t seem quite salad-y to me. I know that…

I can’t believe that I’ve been writing a semi-vegetarian blog for more than three years now and have never posted a felafel recipe. How have I not yet been drummed out of the Union? Anyway, making up for lost time,…
Recipe: Winter Tuna Salad with Fennel, Orange and Hazelnuts
I love salads, but it feels weird to buy tomatoes and capsicums and cucumbers and other summer vegetables when it’s freezing cold outside and probably pouring with rain, too. So as the year changes, I start swapping out my summer…
Recipe: Sweet potato and chickpea curry with roast cauliflower
This was one of those recipes you make up as you go along which then turns out to be rather good, so you sit down straight after dinner to hastily reconstruct what you did before you forget it. It does…
