Mushroom, Herb and Parsnip Pie Recipe
| April 1, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Autumn, Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
There is a new favourite recipe in town, and I cannot get over how good it is. Additionally, it’s a vegetarian recipe, and for a meatless recipe to hit the spot so completely is pretty unusual in our house. This is one of the babymoon, cook-ahead and freeze recipes we did, but obviously you don’t…
English Cottage Pie With Cheese And Leek Topping Recipe
| March 18, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Motherhood, Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
We have been getting so many leeks in our winter vegetable boxes that I’m starting to feel a little ‘leek-ed’ out, if I’m honest! I thought I’d try something different from the usual, and this recipe turned out to be an amazing winner! You’ll find the original recipe here, but here’s how we made and…
Just Have to Share – South African Vetkoek
| May 9, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Autumn, Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring, Summer, Winter |
Today I am going to ask you to trust me and go out on a limb. These little beauties are a South African favourite. They remind me of Friday nights at home as a child, when my dad would pick up the dough ready made from the corner shop. He’d prepare the little balls and…

As the winter days fade into spring, we have a few final opportunities for thick and healthy soups. I tried this soup because I happened to have all the ingredients from my Abel and Cole veggie box and was absolutely stunned by it. Utterly delicious. I do suggest you try it!
Out the Box – Vegetable Cobbler
| February 28, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
Regular readers will know by now that by Sunday lunch time my meals take on a little bit of a ‘salvage job’ feel as I try to use up the remains of the vegetable bowl and any leftovers in the fridge. This makes way for the new veggie box delivery on Monday, and makes sure…
Out the Box – Apple and Banana Bread
| February 21, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Food, Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
I have been trying to get in to making breads recently. Since we’re at home a lot more now than we used to be, we tend to eat more regularly, and make more meals. I came across this beautiful Banana Nut Bread recipe at the Essential Herbalist blog, and although I adapted it somewhat to…
Out the Box – Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Peppers
| February 14, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
We have had quite a rough few weeks, with a continuously but constantly changing sick little one and mommy. As a result, cooking consciously hasn’t been high on my list of priorities. As Martin’s been working late in to the evenings, we’ve been neglecting the veggie basket and going for quick and simple meals.
