Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

River Cottage Veg Every Day! (River Cottage Every Day)

Asian inspired coleslaw : page 115

Really good simple coleslaw. I used red cabbage and more cilantro in addition to the carrots. I also added some black rice vinegar to the dressing and scattered some seeds on top. Peanuts would be a nice addition. Keeps well in the fridge, I will definitely repeat this.

Cannellini bean and leek soup with chilli oil : page 165

This makes a tasty and nutritious soup, and it’s easy to put together. I used small red beans instead of the cannellini beans (soaked overnight in lightly salted water, then added to soup and simmered 40 minutes). I made my own chilli oil and also added a whole bunch of fresh spinach at the end. I used my homemade chicken stock for my soup, since I’m not a fan of veg stock.
