Veg box ideas / recipes please

7 replies

We have recently signed up for a veg box and are enjoying the surprise and the variety of things arriving.
What I'm after though are some recommended resources please (site, app or book) that I can use as a quick go-to for recipes to make sure that we use up everything.
I thought we ate lots of veg but I have always mostly bought seasonally so most of my everyday recipes aren't making the most of the array we are getting now.
Thanks in advance.

River cottage veg by Hugh Fernley-whittingstall is brilliant for veg boxes. Lots of one-veg ideas with store cupboard ingredients as well as bigger one pot meals.

I've set up a word document listed by vegetables/grain/meat etc which helps me remember what I've liked before from our veg box.

My go to vegetable resources are - Meera Sodha (books or guardian column) Anna Jones (book or website), Ed Smith (website or book "on the side") Also "happy foodie" website, Ottolenghi guardian column or his books Flavour, Simple, OTK or Ruby Tandoh's Cook as you Are..

Also, Riverford have loads of recipes on their site. I get their box but I think the recipes are accessible to all

Absolutely second the river cottage veg book, it's brilliantly useful.
And good old google...

I make soup every week with whatever veg is on the turn in the fridge. There have been some really terrible combinations but generally it all tastes the same!
