Even though it's a stew, this is light enough to be enjoyed even in the summer heat. The broccoli gives it lots of vitamins and also a wonderful colour and the lentils make it a satisfying meal. This stew has only few ingredients, but is delicious, gluten-free and vegan as well. So go ahead and enjoy it! You can find the recipe and more photos here ( Read more... )

I am currently in New Zealand, where it's winter - so it's the perfect time for a stew. This is a fast-cooking and easy stew, very warming and filling! You can find the recipe and more photos here.

So using some of the vegetables I had left in the cupboard/fridge yesterday, I made this (my recipe since I made it up as I went along :P):

Ingredients:

It is a classic french peasant dish. It is reasonably simple and quite delicious.

This came out really well! I have a reputation as a notoriously bad cook, but I'm trying and I'm learning. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but obviously, I can cook yummy things. :) Still nervous about sharing them, though!

Someone gave me a brilliant vege cookbook a year or so back called "Jump Up and Kiss Me", which contains some of the most delicious things. Here's my probable favorite, "Moroccan Vegetable Stew."
