Wholesome jammy blueberry crumble slice. This slice was made many, many months ago and has been made a few times since. A delicious mix of flavours and textures, and *almost* entirely wholefoods based (If you don’t do oil, you could swap for coconut butter). . All my pantry staple come from @thesourceberwick , and also my Easter eggs. If you’re after unwrapped, vegan eggs then they have the best veganised Cadbury cream egg (called dream eggs) and the @loving_earth Boobook ones, too :)
Fodder beet doesn't have to reserved for animal feed. Kath Fox tosses sliced fodder beet with veggies, rice noodles and a zippy dressing. Recipe: Kath Fox Photos: Dan Kerins When Kath Fox’s sister gave her a Benriner mandolin for Christmas, she knew just want she wanted to make – a salad from fodder beet. The root vegetable – like a swede, mangelbeet or sugar beet – is generally used as animal feed, but Kath says they’re delicious. “And it really amuses me to feed people the same thing as our calves.” While fodder eats are more an autumn and winter

I first tried a slice of this cake when a former colleague brought some into to work around Christmas last year.

Assuming that I'm not alone in my valiant but seemingly futile attempt at balancing a manic end of year schedule, I'd like to offer a temporary respite from the madness that is November by way of this Chicken and leek casserole. With a creamy white wine and mushroom sauce, this Mid-week supper is rather luxurious, simple to make and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. In my family, finger-mopping is usually an indication as to the whether the food was average or completely moreish. Needless to say, hunks of crusty bread would come in very handy for the unceremonious plate cleaning that'll follow. It's homely, comforting and just the sort of dish to restore mental and physical calm to a weeknight dinner table. Tonight is a no-fluff kind of story in that there's really no explanation needed. It's as you see it - a gather and feast, help yourself supper. What I really love about this creamy chicken and leek casserole is the simplicity of ingredients. Nothing wild or exotic on the list that requires a food garmin to track down. Just a couple of the usual suspects that can easily find their way into your shopping trolley - Chicken thighs, leeks, mushrooms, a bottle of white, cream and parsley. Friends forever! Another easy stove-top chicken supper that's a complete doddle to make but with bags of flavour is this Sun-dried tomato and basil pesto chicken with marsala cream sauce. These two chicken casseroles recipes are all time family favourites and I'm sure they'll soon have everyone licking the plates! I use skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs as brown meat is so much more flavoursome than white. Use whichever you prefer. Remember though to reduce the cooking time by at least 10-15 minutes if using the fillets to prevent drying out. Leeks and shallots impart a subtle sweetness to the sauce and partner like champions with mushrooms and chicken. For a herby freshness, adorn with handfuls of flat leaf parsley. Serve with steamed green beans and tender-stem broccoli for an oh so good Banting supper or wild rice, roast butternut and sweet potatoes for the rest of us. And.....we're done!
Rajasthani Kadhi is a flavorful dish which is usually served with Chapati, Khichdi, Bajre Ki Roti or Rice. It has a light texture and is easy to make.
Vegetable orzo combines whole-grain orzo pasta and roasted vegetables with a unique seasoning blend. Then it's tossed in a simple oil-free dressing. Served cold or warm, this vegetable orzo recipe is perfect as an entree or a side dish.
One of my favorite things about traveling is discovering new recipes that are easy and delicious. This dish is my favorite Bulgarian recipe, and I know you will love it too! It feeds a family of four easily, and can be made in a jiffy. This dish is served everywhere in Bulgaria, and is a go-to dish for the cold winter months. You can also add a few extra ingredients, like onion and parsley as well. If you like okra, (I'm lookin' at you Southerners), I think that would also make a nice complimentary vegetable to throw into the mix. If you add okra make sure it is fresh, not frozen, and sliced. I made the traditional dish, and kicked it up with some red pepper flakes. Serve this dish hot in shallow bowls, with a yeast roll or sliced fresh bread. Ingredients: 1-Medium to Large Cabbage 2-Large Tomatoes 1-fresh family pack chicken (drums,wings and thighs) 3 Tablespoons-Paprika 1 Tablespoons-Red Pepper Flakes 2 Tablespoons-Black Pepper 2 Tablespoons-Salt 3/4 cup oil 3/4 cup vinegar Preparation: Chop cabbage into medium pieces and place in a large casserole dish Chop tomatoes and mix in with cabbage Add all spices to the cabbage and tomatoes, and mix well with hands Add vinegar and oil to the cabbage and tomato mixture Place chicken parts in casserole on top of the cabbage and tomatoes Bake in 400 degree oven for one hour and half, and make sure to continue to stir throughout the cooking time This is an amazing dish! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I like this dish for casual entertaining: you can make it ahead and finish it in the oven before serving.
