Ratatouille
Ratatouille is a lush succulent dish that can be enjoyed hot or cold and merits a crusty baguette to mop up the juices.

Tagliatelle with roast vegetables
A friend made this from scratch for lunch when I called in unexpectedly. I watched with pleasure, ate with increasing pleasure and returned home to try my hand and share my pleasure…. so I hope you will try it out and enjoy!
As the meat is added as a topping it is also a very useful recipe because meat lovers and vegetarians can be invited to share the basic dish.
Easy Peasy Vegetable Curry
It appears it’s Curry National Week and how conveniently so – Last week of the month, low on finances and bits and bobs of vegetables looking sorry for themselves in the fridge. Vegetable curry it is then for dinner!
Raised honey nut squash and cashew pie
A colourful and succulent honey nut squash and cashew pie recipe, made with “hot water pastry” which takes longer to cook, but is suitable for vegans!
Brinjal
Brinjal is made from aubergines and normally had as a dry, but tasty, accompaniment to a curry. It goes very well with my recipe for Sri Lankan Chicken Curry!
Sit and Wait Lemon and paprika beef
‘Sit and Wait’ dishes are the kind of recipes that require minimum expense and preparation, but offer maximum taste. Braised long and slow in the oven then simply reheated later on, they’re the homemade version of the ready meal
Vegetarian Moussaka
The varieties and proportions of this roast vegetable recipe, with a moussaka topping, are up to your personal preference. When the vegetables have been roasted, they can be frozen. So if you make more than required, pop a couple of portions in the freezer, and make up when you need a meal in a hurry.
