A very good storecupboard standby supper from ” Veggie Family Cook Book” by Claire Thomson. Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage and it is now widely recognised that fermented foods can play an important role in supporting gut health.
Aquacotta is a simple but classic Italian soup from the Maremma coastal region of Tuscany. I found this version in Claire Thomson’s “Veggie Family Cook Book “.
As my husband is vegetarian I cook with eggs quite a lot and am always on the lookout for new recipes. This scrumptious riff on Menemen is an all in one pan dish that I found in the excellent vegetarian Turkish cook book ” Sebze” by Ozlem Warren.
A delicious curry from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. You can omit the chilli for a child friendly version. You can add a few prawns as well if you like, or use them instead of the fish. Serve with rice or rotis.
A spicy tomato rich stir fry from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. She also has a new book out called ” The Asian Pantry” which I have added to my wish list. This is good accompanied with her Garlicky Green Beans.
Simple grilled prawns from award winning Ho Chi Minh City chef Quach Thien Tuong. I found the recipe in ” Street Cafe Vietnam” by Annabel Jackson. Use the freshest prawns you can find, and add a spoonful of water if you find that the dip is too tart for your taste.
A spicy chicken and lemongrass stir fry from Cambodia. The recipe is from Y Sok, a Cambodian refugee who came to the UK aged 37 after first migrating to the USA with her family. She runs Kambuja restaurant in the Marple area of Greater Manchester.
