Weekday Vegetarian: White Bean Salad with Radish, Walnuts and Wild Leeks

Weekday Vegetarian: Cheese Biscuits
I've made a lot of biscuits in my time, and I think this is the nicest recipe I've used. The biscuits rose beautifully, were light and fluffy and had a terrific flavour. They were very easy to make. It all went into the mixer,

Weekday Vegetarian: Potato Chip Frittatas
We have a federal election coming up on Monday, and my son has been working about 15 hours a day for the past three weeks hoping to get our candidate elected. I'm not good about doing things like door-to-door canvassing as he has been

Weekday Vegetarian: Aloo Kofta - Fried Potato Balls

Weekday Vegetarian: Saag Aloo - Spinach with Fried Potato Balls
In my post the other day on the leek tart, I wrote about the New York Times column the Temporary Vegetarian and how delicious their recipes always sound, despite the effort involved. Well, this week's recipe was so alluring, I made it

Weekday Vegetarian: Horseradish Hash Browns
Yes, you saw right, that's bacon on top of those hash browns. Before you start sending in your comments, let me say, the bacon is not integral to the hash browns themselves, it is a topping. If you are making this dish on the

Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Celeriac and Mushrooms
Celeriac isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you are planning a pasta sauce. Personally, I could eat a tomato based pasta sauce pretty much every day, but I felt like my husband had reached his threshold of tomato sauced
