As hinted at in my previous post, we’ve finally manage to make something from our seemingly ever-growing collection of slowly-riping black sapote fruit.

Colcannon at last!
Another productive cooking weekend means that we’ve made another dent on our burgeoning veg stocks.

Box 2 – Roundup
Our second box, and the first that we’d have to try to utilise in just one week. So what did we do with it? Actual usage & thoughts: Italian Dandelion – The various other blogs by fellow members of our CSA all seem to agree on one thing – that the dandelion greens are very [...]

Box 2 – Opening
What’s inside Box 2? Italian Dandelion – one bundle Garlic Chives – one bundle. Lettuce – one (small) head, in this case Romaine Bok Choy – one head, complete with caterpillar and other bugs! Green ‘Suntan’ Pepper – one Yellow Squash – one Courgette (Zucchini) – one, swapped for an avocado since neither of us [...]
