Has anyone else got sprout tops in their veg box this week?
I knew they were on their way because I’ve started to get emails about what to do with them.
So I wasn’t surprised to get one this week.
The good thing about “sprout tops” is that the Brussels Sprouts on them seem to keep fresh longer [...]

The seasons are upside down this year. We’re still getting UK-grown courgettes and tomatoes in our veg box, yet it’s December this weekend!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining - I love the summer veggies, but it feels weird contemplating recipes for courgettes and swedes at the same time!
I guess we’re in the last few [...]

11 months on and I’m still ploughing through last winter’s pickled beetroot.
I really love the pickled beetroot recipe we have on the main VegBox-Recipes.co.uk site. But why haven’t I eaten it all yet???
Because I made a quadruple batch. At least.
I was pregnant with Theo at the time and remembered that, in my pre-veg-box-not-quite-so-organic days, when [...]

It’s that time of year! The asparagus season has started.
And if you’re lucky enough to find it in your veg box or farm shop, then it’s time to enjoy.
It’s a real treat, heralding the start of summer. And the asparagus season doesn’t last long, so it’s worth making the most of it while you can.
We’ve [...]

Should veg box scheme providers charge you a weekly fee for the ability to opt out of fruit and vegetables you know you won’t eat?
Most schemes used to offer this service for free (for up to 3 items), but we’ve found out that there’s a growing trend to charge for this service.
What do you think?
Do [...]

Thank you to everyone who voted in the Veg Box Scheme of 2006 awards.
I just wanted to let you know that the winners have been announced.
The awards are unique, because schemes are nominated by their customers, rather than being evaluated by a panel of expert “foodie” judges. This means that your views really counted.
Here are [...]

When it comes to the world of fruit and veg, are you a risk-taker or a play-it-safe kinda person?
