vegan cornbread

artichokes vinaigrette
Day 23: it’s the final week of the Vegan Challenge, but this is recipe zero. For me, celebrating vegetables began with this one. When we were on holiday in Belgium once, we went into a small restaurant expecting not very much. The food

gnocchi with tomato sauce
Day 22: great Friday night food today. Quick and simple, not too much shopping or washing up. Just a bowlful of healthy, satisfying food, colourful and oh-so-tasty. Frying the gnocchi in a little olive oil adds a wonderful crunch, quite different

lentil and coconut curry
Day 20: Today, I’m reposting my favourite recipe of all time. (Well, one of them anyway.) This is perhaps the ultimate comfort food. Fragrant with ginger and garlic, rich and creamy, and utterly moreish. And it’s very easy to make. The
