    Recipe Khoresh Karafs – Germez (Persian Celery & Tomato Stew with tofu)

    Traditionally, Khoresh Karafs is made using chicken, so I switched out the chicken for tofu. I'd frozen and defrosted the tofu previously (it really helps tofu absorb flavour), then drained and dried the tofu in advance. I'd recommend that you do the same, especially if you're unconvinced about...

    Recipe Vegetable Ratatouille

    The ingredient quantities in this are very flexible. It can easily be scaled up or down as needed. If you've only 2 courgettes and 2 aubergine, no problem. It will still work quite happily.

    Recipe Mexican rice

    This is not really a Mexican rice recipe, but that is what it was called back in the 1980s. I used to make this back when I was a single working mom. It was cheap, had protein, veges, and carbs. Best of all, it was only a little prep and fast! Recipe can be doubled. Leftovers are still...

    Recipe Maghluba (Palestinian Upside-down Rice)

    So with no electricity today, I've had to be more creative than usual and our evening meal is currently on the BBQ. Yep, I had to clean it first, I had to remove quite a bit of insect life that I didn't need to cook (they didn't get any further than my helpers) and no second chances if you...

    Recipe Cauliflower Rice Tabbouleh

    This recipe is based on the one in the Vegan Food & Living magazine Jan 2023 which is from Annabelle Randles from the Flexitarian.co.uk. It is vegan, it's raw hence requires no cooking, it's gluten free and it's very tasty. We've added to it and altered the quantities slightly because we...

    Recipe Beef Chili

    Whenever I make chili, cumin plays a significant role.

    Recipe Italian potato-tomato-basil casserole

    We had this dish for the first time at an Italian-American neighbor's home. Craig absolutely loved it. I'm glad for the potato pick as it reminded me of this dish. We haven't had it in a really long time. It was on our weekly menu prior to Craig's issue so will remain after he comes home...

    Modifying a Chickpea, Onion and Chopped Tomato Curry to include Aubergine

    I saw this recipe on a tin of East End chickpeas that I bought from Waitrose. I'm thinking of doubling the tomatoes and adding an aubergine with just a 50% increase in the chickpeas. Can I just slice it the aubergine and add it or should I stab it a few times with a knife or fork then roast to...
