This blog has been sitting idle for about eighteen months while I decided what to do with it. Starting to receive a vegetable box has refreshed my approach to the kitchen in that it has inspired me to seek out new recipes to use up all that good stuff. Hopefully it will kick my photography into shape too, which has also fallen into a bit of a rut of late.
It sounds like a plan, anyway.
So ... I get a fortnightly box from Riverford at Stockley Farm in Cheshire. This one contained:
Potatoes
Carrots
Onions
Spinach
Cauliflower
Savoy Cabbage
Mixed Salad
Portabello Mushrooms
Free Range Eggs
Cherry Tomatoes
Pumpkin
Swede (oh, no)
I'm not a big fan of swede, and I probably should have tried to substitute it with something else, but I forgot and it duly arrived.So, I chopped half of it up and roasted it, then stirred it into a risotto with some of the spinach and plenty of black pepper and parmesan, and it was actually pretty good. I saved the rest for that good old standby, soup.
