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 that we stick to our ‘no food wastage’ challenge for this year.

Out the Box – Apple and Banana Bread
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 fit what was in my cupboard, it is an absolutely beautiful recipe! Not only did it make a moist and delicious bread, but it was still moist three days later. (Although that might have had something to do with the three days of rain and the leaky roof!

Out the Box – Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Peppers
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.

A Peckham Gem – The Melange Chocolate Shop
I interrupt my (ir)regularly (un)scheduled posts to bring you this newsflash. Today we found a treasure, a true gem in the most unlikely of places. It must be what Columbus felt when he discovered America, or Alexander Graham Bell when the telephone finally worked. Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but still, I stepped off a pavement in Peckham, London and into a Chocolaterie in France.

Out the Box – Breakfast for Dinner
Have you ever had one of those days where not budget or diet could inspire you to cook your own food, and the lure of a takeaway was stronger than any of your common sense? Well, we had just such a day this week.
365-23 Apple Pie
I wrote a post on these Apple Pies recently. They are great, and I just love knowing there’s a stack in the freezer for whenever I need some warm comfort food to get me through this long winter!
Out the Box – Wintery Apple Pie
A few years ago, Martin and I were blessed to spend a bit of time living in the wing above the ballroom of an old English Manor house that belongs to a bona fide viscount. One of the perks of living in this beautiful property towards the end of summer was that the orchard was in full bloom, and we would spend the evenings after work picking tubs full of blackberries and baskets of apples.
