There is a glut of courgettes in the fridge; we normally do a sort of pasta bake with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella, or stir fry them, but I caught a glimpse of some cookery programme the other day where somebody was making a moussaka with courgettes instead of aubergine, and so I thought I’d give…

lentil dosas
I’ve been wanting to make these ever since I spotted them in one of my bread books, but I’ve never been organised enough to do it – they’re remarkably simple, but you need to start them 32 hours in advance, according to the book. Take 3/4 cup of long grain rice (I used Basmati, as…
aubergine, spinach and lentil bake
Using up: aubergine, some red wine that had gone vinegary, 1/3 of a bag of spinach We love this sort of food, and eat it often. In the fridge was an aubergine, spinach, and some feta cheese, and Pete had opened a bottle of red wine last week and inexplicably failed to drink most of…

But then I thought “we always make moussaka when we have aubergine”, and decided I might try something different with it. …
lentil moussaka
Sorry – forgot the picture! Using up: aubergine, some grated cheese This turned into a bit of an epic, and was lovely. I looked up some recipes, both on the interweb and in my copious collection of cookery books, but nothing seemed quite right, so I made it up as I went along. I put…
