Poor Man’s Potatoes Recipe Book: Nigel Slater - Eat Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have to say I really enjoyed this dish. It’s quite a nice comfort food style vegetarian dish. I have made this before and the first time I made it I decided to add in a chilli 🌶 at the start.... a whole sliced chilli 🌶... maybe you might want to put a half one in instead! 😆  nevertheless it was still good.  This time I sort of stuck to the original recipe. Only alterations were that I didn’t have the normal size bell peppers so I used a few of those smaller sweet peppers to get the same amount. Aga conversion: I kind of struggled with this conversion, I sort of toggled between both hot plates and then when it was time to cover and simmer enthusiastically, I popped the covered Aga sauté pan on the floor of the roasting oven. After 20 mins there was still loads of stock left so I gave it a bit longer uncovered on the hot plates toggling between them for roughly 10 minutes after squashing about

Veggie Bolognese, Loadsa Veg, Lentils and Parmesan (441 calories) Recipe Book: Jamie Oliver - Superfood Family Classics  Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow! Impressed! For those who have followed this page since it started in 2017, you’ll know that I love meat 🥩. I’ll do a few veggie recipes, but ultimately I’ll never make a good vegetarian I’m too fussy. This recipe however is excellent. It’s not a quick one to make, save it for a weekend,  it’s pretty easy but wow the taste is great, I even didn’t notice the absence of meat as it had a good texture and it must be the porcini mushrooms that gave it the meaty flavour (granted all veg and mushrooms were chopped finely in the processor so I couldn’t pick them out!). Aga conversion: I softened the veg in the Aga sauté pan with lid on the floor of the simmering oven. Added the Chianti and the rest with the pan on the boiling plate. Moved it uncovered to the floor of the simmering oven for the final 35 minutes.  Pasta I cooked in a

Cajun Sweet Potatoes (346 calories) Recipe Book: Jamie Oliver - 5 Ingredients  Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved these. I have to admit, I’ve got a thing for sweet potato 🍠. Putting Cajun spice on them takes them to a whole new level though. The garlic yoghurt sauce was pretty great too. Aga conversion: Roasting tray on middle set of runners in the Roasting Oven. I did mine for about 45 minutes as my oven was running hot. Will I make this again? Absolutely, I loved it.

Sunshine Fusilli Pasta (388 calories) Recipe Book: Jamie Oliver Veg (the latest book)  Buy the book here  Buy the Kindle Version Review: 5 Stars! I can safely say that I was not expecting to score this recipe so highly. I am a hardened meat eater and don't particularly like or eat a whole lot of veg but I decided to really give it a go, so all this weeks recipes are coming out of this book. It was very quick to make, literally the 20 minutes as it states in the book. I made a half portion to serve 2. Mistakenly bought regular salted pistachios and it was fine. I blended the peppers, onions, garlic and cheese in my Kenwood Chef mini chopper attachment as the amount was pretty small and it fit just nicely. If I was making a serves 4 I might have to rethink this idea. Once it was blended, to be honest it looked like creamy yellowness and I didn't honestly like the look of it but hey ho, lets give it a chance eh? Was it good? It certainly was, I was also quite sur

Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.  Well, if you’d asked me this morning what I expected I’d be scoring tonight’s recipe, I was thinking a 3🌟. I have to say I have been very pleasantly surprised. It’s not a quick recipe to make. I did a half portion and it took about 1 hour 20 start to finish. The question is... was it tasty? Hell yes! And I ate it all (my portion not the entire 3 portions 😆)! Coming from someone who doesn’t really like veg and is an all out meat eater this is a big deal! I did find this recipe a bit ambiguous in places. I mean there’s a section where it says you have to roast the veg and garlic together but it doesn’t say to chop that half of the garlic, so I did as I didn’t fancy biting into a whole clove... Also, because I was doing a half portion I thought it would be difficult to blanch the parsnips and carrots in such a small amount of liquid so I made the full portion of stock and when I drained it I only used half of what was left to go in the parsley sauce. I used 2/3 of a
