fruit: Gala apples, Conference pears, pink grapefruit, blood oranges, bananas
veg: broccoli, kale, onions, red cabbage, Valor potatoes, carrots, beetroot

So this is where it all starts, the boxes get a little more samey, a little more ‘oh, not this again’.  Well, fear not.  We shall get through this together and enjoy the beautiful colours, textures and flavours that lie within the lumpen muddy mounds before you!

I have been delving through my cookbooks and pulled out the Roman Cookery of Apicus for some inspiration in the coming month and have some pretty fantastic things I want to try (I won’t post them until they are tested and ingested, however, to save your own tummies).

Currently I am really enjoying apple and banana porridge every morning, as is the whole family.  It really keeps me full right up to my 11 o’clock tea and biscuit.

I never got round to making the borscht the other week, so will definitely do it this week, and will probably do a spiced red cabbage to go with some grilled 5 spice duck breasts at the weekend.

The kale and parmesan tart was a winner, but my all time favourite is still shredding it and doing a stir fry with noodles, garlic, onion, beansprouts, sesame oil and soy sauce.  Like the noodles in the [1] glazed Salmon recipe, but with kale.
