My sister is famous for her attitude towards cooking: “If it takes longer to cook than it does to eat, then I’m not interested!”
She has mellowed a little these days, but for many of us, we no longer have hours to spend creating culinary delights in the kitchen.
That’s why so many people resort to ready-made [...]

I was wondering…
I do that a lot… Recipe podcasts…
Lots of people have ipod / mp3 players in their kitchens, but not many have computers. To save trees (so you don’t have to print out the Veg Box Recipes), would you be interested in podcasts of recipes?
Would you want these to just be a clear reading [...]

I’ve just checked our web visitor statistics and discovered that this month we had our 1 millionth visitor!
In fact, we’re averaging over 130,000 unique visitors per month, and it’s still growing, which makes us one of the UK’s leading seasonal food resources.
In the 18 months since Veg Box Recipes launched, I think that’s a fantastic [...]

Did you know…? I’m now writing a seasonal recipes column each month for Tastes of Britain magazine.
Tastes of Britain is all about British regional specialities, the producers, food heroes, and the stories behind the best food that Britain has to offer.
As their marketing spiel says: “From Land’s End to John O’ Groats; from pheasant to [...]

At last, after 3 months of intermittent weeding and trying to keep up with whether the seedlings are going to be scorched or drowned, our first allotment crops are in!
It’s official!
This week we’ve been enjoying loads of broad beans, salad leaves, rocket, radishes and even our very first blueberry.
It’s great getting a veg box, but [...]

It’s that time of year - broad beans are creeping into veg boxes and farmers’ markets. And the early season beans are particularly delicious.
Later in the season, the beans can tend to get a bit tough and need skinning (a labour of love, but worth it). So make the most of them now.
Here are some [...]

Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s announced this month that they are considering launching an organic box scheme.
To be honest, when I first heard, I wasn’t sure whether I thought it was worrying or ridiculous.
The marketing teams must have decided there is an opportunity to take over more of the rapidly growing organic market. (Up 30% last [...]
