    Week Thirty Five: The Spanish Tortilla

    This dish is a close one to Dillan’s heart, as it’s been cooked by her mum for as long as she can remember.

    Using simple, staple ingredients in different ways is an art form, and a tortilla is one of the most beautiful ways to cook potatoes and eggs.

    This dish is delicious eaten straight away but it’s also a real winner for meal prep. It keeps so well in the fridge and makes a great packed lunch.

    Week Thirty Four: Vibrant Herby Red Cabbage Slaw with Chopped Dates

    It may be winter and Dillan hasn’t been eating many salads but she couldn’t resist making this crisp, vibrant slaw using beautifully colourful red cabbage. It pairs wonderfully with comforting winter dishes, think stews, curries, roasted vegetables or anything that needs a bright crunchy side.

    All vegetables are incredible of course but those with deep, rich colours tend to be especially high in antioxidants and polyphenols another reason to celebrate red cabbages.

    Week Thirty Three : Charred Leeks Soaked in Bone Broth

    This week, Dillan has taken a simple leek and turned it into something heavenly. Deeply charred, then gently soaked in a rich broth until tender.

    Don’t worry, veggies - this works beautifully with a good-quality vegetable stock too.

    Week Twenty-Nine : Maple Crown Prince Pie (any squash will work)

    Dillan has had a craving for a sweet, maple squash dessert for weeks but she waited to make it for all of you.

    Feeling brave, she tackled a gluten-free pastry on camera for the first time, talk about pressure.

    This pie is gently spiced, comforting served with whipped cream.

    Week Twenty Seven: Roasted Carrot & Parsnip with Crispy Chickpeas & another Herb Oil

    Dillan is a vegetable lover, but even she admits parsnips used to be a challenge. This has officially changed! Simple roasted parsnips have become one of her favourites since getting a veg box. When caramelised until soft, they offer a sweetness that’s almost reminiscent of plantain.

    Mixed with crispy chickpeas for crunch, fibre and protein, creamy, tangy feta, and a herb oil with a little sweet and zingy lift, this is a dish we could happily eat every single day.

    & it’s MANON APPROVED!

    Week Twenty-Four: Celeriac, Jerusalem Artichoke, Sage & Thyme Soup

    Did you know Jerusalem artichokes have nothing to do with either Jerusalem or artichokes? They’re actually related to the sunflower plant. A great source of prebiotics and extremely tasty too, this one-pot wonder should hit all those comfort cravings.
