Adventures in the vegetarian kitchen!

Spiced Plum Cake

Witch's Kitchen ― On Christmas morning, I was in the kitchen with my younger son, who desperately wanted to help with the cooking.  As we’re vegetarian, and not really into the whole Christmas thing, dinner was nontraditional (enchilladas) followed by a very... (more)

Tomato, Onion and Feta Baklava

Witch's Kitchen ― I’m not particularly keen on cooking with pastry, including filo. However, this wonderfully warming supper dish is worth all the fiddly, thin-sheet filo manipulation as it’s delicious.  I made the tomato, onion and feta baklava for... (more)

Apple and Sultana Spiced Muffins

Witch's Kitchen ― I love making muffins because they are just so quick and easy. Plus I usually have the ingredients around the kitchen to make a basic muffin. This recipe was born out of a need for cake, which I’m sure you can understand,  and only a couple of... (more)

Essex Spice Cakes

Witch's Kitchen ― I think the name is a bit misleading as these cakes are more like big cookies but really when we’re talking about sweet things who cares?  I was sold when I noticed it used rose water – I love rose! This is an old recipe, probably back... (more)

Apple & Onion Crumble

Witch's Kitchen ― Normally when I think of a crumble my mind automatically takes me to apple crumble served with a generous helping of hot vanilla custard.  This is a crumble for dinner…. I know, it seems wrong not being a pudding but it’s quite good. ... (more)

Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni

Witch's Kitchen ― I’ve made cannelloni before but I’ve always bought those cannelloni tubes which are a nightmare to stuff.  You try and put your filling in one end to watch it shoot out the other. I never could master the damn things without making a... (more)

Vegetarian Toad In The Hole with Beer & Onion Gravy

Witch's Kitchen ― I’ve had a few comments from my sons lately about how much they enjoy toad in the hole but as dinner is now strictly vegetarian toad was off the menu.  This is a meat free version which uses mushrooms instead of sausages hence my rather cheesy... (more)

Red Lentil Dhal Pizza

Witch's Kitchen ― This is fusion food extreme. We’ve got Indian dhal, Near Eastern pitta bread, Thai chilli sauce and Italian cheese. On paper, these probably shouldn’t all go together but be brave and try these pitta pizzas because they are delicious. The... (more)

Spicy Borscht Soup

Witch's Kitchen ― I had this soup for the first time last year, and when I made it in the week for dinner I remembered why I loved it so much. This soup is packed with veggie goodness and it was, apparently, the staple meal of Russians for hundreds of years.  You can... (more)

Plum Vodka

Witch's Kitchen ― Much to my husband’s annoyance, I pick up all those free magazines at the supermarket. I tell myself that I’ll read them but after giving a quick scan they end up in recycling because they’re just a bunch of advertising rubbish.  I... (more)

Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup

Witch's Kitchen ― Parsnips are just coming into season and that makes me very happy. I was never much of a parsnip lover when I was growing up and my mother would hide parsnips under roast potatoes to fool me into eating them. These days it’s a different story... (more)

Bread and Butter Dinner Pudding

Witch's Kitchen ― Bread and butter pudding is a traditional British dessert (not to be confused with bread pudding which is more like a cake) . It’s baked slices of buttered bread with dried fruit and spices – quite delicious, especially when you serve it... (more)

Orange & Almond Cake with Lavender Syrup

Witch's Kitchen ― If you read my post on my first disastrous week of getting a bit fitter then you will be wondering how I can possibly improve if I make cakes. Then eat them.  You would be right to wonder and I am trying to come up with even the slightest... (more)

Halloween Hazelnut Cookies

Witch's Kitchen ― The hazelnut has long been associated with Halloween divination – it’s considered wise to eat a hazelnut before attempting any future telling on Halloween.  A charm made by stringing 9 hazelnuts together then placed in your house on... (more)

Leftover Tortilla Mexican Lasagne

Witch's Kitchen ― First off, this isn’t really lasagne.  It’s a bake which uses those old tortilla wraps which sadly get discarded and forgotten about.  But I make it in a lasagne dish so it sort of, very tenuously, makes it almost a lasagne. I made this... (more)
