My dear fellow members of The Cottage Cooking Club:
Now we are at the beginning of March and therefore into our twenty-third month of preparing recipes from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall´s “River Cottage Everyday Veg”.
PLEASE feel free to substitute or add local vegetables to the recipes as it is always best to cook with what you can find at your local farmers´markets and greengrocers.
From the chapter "Comfort Food & Feasts“:
1. North African squash and chickpea stew (page 30) - Sorry, one more squash dish but feel free to substitute sweet potatoes or another vegetable here
2. Potato dauphinoise OR Half-and-half dauphinoise OR Celeriac and potato dauphinoise OR Potato and turnip dauphinoise (page 60)
3. Courgette penne spoufflé (page 43)
4. Three-root boulangère (page 64)
From the chapter of "Bready Things“:
5. Nachos with refried beans (page 190)
6. The vegiflette toastie (page 206)
7. Roasted new potatoes with harissa (page 225)
From the chapter of "Store-Cupboard Suppers“
8. Dressed Puy lentils (page 237) - great use for all that fresh Italian parsley
9. Dhal (page 238)
From the chapter of "Pasta & Rice":
10. Vegetable biryani (page 274)

MOTTO:
Our motto for the month of March is: Hang in there, we have almost made it! Seriously, I do hope that you still enjoy cooking from Hugh´s book AND that you will continue cooking with this lovely group as we tackle two more book of his starting in the lovely month of May!
Thank you! Merci beaucoup! Vielen Dank!
We've talked about this before, that I'm a musicologist by training, and I started humming when I read the last line of the motto (Im wunderschönen Monat Mai). Ah, Dichterliebe. Anyway, the task at hand. I'm having a hard time choosing, so I'll say that I will at least make
ReplyDelete-Nachos (because I have to try this out--love trying other cultures' takes on Mexican food)
-Potatoes in harissa
Thanks, Andrea! Can't believe it's almost over and looking forward to the next book(s)!
Hello everyone, here are my choices for this month, take care!! Cheri
ReplyDeleteDressed Puy lentils (page 237) -
Three-root boulangère (page 64)
The vegiflette toastie (page 206)
I'm hanging in there, but I really can't face another squash (or sweet potato)! So I'll be making:
ReplyDeleteThree-root boulangère (page 64)
The vegiflette toastie (page 206)
I made the Nachos with refried beans (page 190) when the Refried Beans Foldover was chosen, before I realized recipe variations would become featured recipes, so I may make the foldover this month.
We're having trouble narrowing it down, too - glad we're not the only ones, Katie!
ReplyDeleteFor sure, we're going to make:
Vegetable biryani
Nachos with refried beans
Kevin's also lobbying for Roasted new potatoes with harissa, so we'll see, and there might be more!
Andrea, these are my choices for March: Potato Dauphinoise, Spinach, penne and cheese spouffle, Dressed green lentils and Dal. (I have lots of spinach on hand from my Talley Farms box so will make the spinach spouffle version which I didn't do before.) Good choices this month even though we're coming to the end.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I wanted to apologize to those with wordpress blogs. I am having trouble commenting on wordpress blogs. I have a self hosted wordpress. And when I try to comment on wordpress.com blogs, it's asking me to log in, but then telling me that someone else has my login and password. (It's not even accepting totally unrelated to blogging email addresses that I have!) I'm trying to work this out and will appreciate any advice!
ReplyDeleteA busy month for me outside of blogging so I am going to commit to making:
vegetable biryani
roasted new potatoes with harissa
....and if time permits...the North African Stew.
Happy cooking everyone!
Hello Andrea and All, whew. Maybe Dhal, a toastie. I've prepared the Vegetable Biryani already but loved it so may make it to send to my daughters work. Have a great month everyone.
ReplyDeleteAnother great list of choices! I just made the refried beans for the nachos. I'm going to try to make the souffle as well.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a lovely slate of choices. I might be over-ambitious, but I plan to make:
ReplyDeleteCourgette penne spouffle
Vegiflette toastie (I love toasties!)
Vegetable Biryani
I am skipping #4 cos I have not seen any celeriac lately on the shelves. But I am dreaming about sinking my teeth into #6! Numbers #1, 3, 9 and 10 are on my to-do list. My lunch place at work closed so I need to make my own :)
ReplyDeleteOK, here are my choices...
ReplyDeletePotato dauphinoise (because how can you not make that?)
Courgette penne spoufflé (page 43)
Dressed Puy lentils (page 237)
We'll see if I can get to any others. Busy month, but they all sound so delicious. And Andrea!! 23 months? Wow!
