The weather has turned cold, which means lots of leafy greens in my farm box, and particularly lots of Asian greens, about which I have few ideas what to do with. But this is definitely soup weather, and so I…

Recipe: Oven dal
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: Marinated Zucchini with Lemon, Pine nuts and Raisins
This was a somewhat improvised recipe when we had Andrew’s family around for his birthday and I started worrying that there wasn’t enough food. (There was, in fact, enough food. There generally is.) But it turned out to be really…

Recipe: Quinoa Salad with Roasted Cauliflower, Herbs, Nuts, and Seeds
This was one of the many salads I made for Christmas Dinner last year. It’s a cross between a few different recipes, mostly from Green Kitchen Stories, one of my favourite vegetarian blogs and the authors of several of my…
Recipe: Gluten-free almond, apricot and orange flower water thumbprints
I have this tendency to, shall we say, overdo things a little bit, especially around Christmas. This manifests itself in a variety of ways, including way too many different carolling and church singing gigs in December, but it also tends…
