You may not be able to see the flecks of green, but I assure you there is some finely minced rosemary in these Savoury  Sweet Potato Scones .   Take a bite and you will not just taste it, but get a gentle waft of it.   I made these Savoury Sweet Potato Scones over the weekend to accompany a Stew and they worked very well, as these scones are a little on the dry side, but I guess that can be the nature of scones yearning for a spread of some sort to uplift it further.    Another reason for making these scones was that I had some plant based milk in the fridge that needed using up.   And in case your wondering, why heart shaped?! Well, I could not find my round scone cutter, so had to use the closest size which was in the shape of a heart. I need more hearts in my life.  You can easily double the quantity, but i deliberately kept it to 6 for the two of us as scones are best enjoyed on the day, really. I am sharing the  Sweet Po...

I don't know if he was just very hungry or being honest, but D complimented on how delicious this Harissa Butternut Squash Stew was, not once but twice with a Thank you Lady.   I thought it was going to one of those stews that would benefit from overnight rest in the fridge, but we had it within an hour of making it and it was most enjoyable.  The harissa and the smoked paprika offset against each other wonderfully. Be careful with the cooking of the vegetables, especially the broccoli towards the end, you do not want it really soft, but still with bite, otherwise it would be more bordering on soup than stew, which is not a bad thing, but sometimes you want texture not bambino  food. I served this Harissa Butternut Squash Stew with some Cook Once Eat Twice hosted by Searching for Spice as this was good a couple of days later too; and  with CookBlogShare hosted by Easy Peasy Foodie.

I am thankful for the rain as the garden has been dry and wanting of water from the skies, but c'mon   - enough already.   I am hoping the weekend is dry as we have made some plans, so I guess I should really be saying bring it on now , but then please give us a break. I made this  Curly Kale and White Beans Soup   over the weekend with what we had in the house as I wasn't feeling adventurous.  Its nothing special, yet variations of this  Curly Kale and White Beans Soup   has featured on many a blog and many a cookbook, but it made for a nice change from a smoother soup with its chunky vegetable and crinkly soft greens.  I am sharing this Curly Kale and White Bean Soup with  Soups, Salads and Sammies  hosted by  Lisa's Vegetarian Kitchen  and  Tinned Tomatoes.  Simple Curly Kale and White Beans Soup  Serves 4 generously Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, finely minced 2 garlic cloves...

For the fourth year running, we went to  Bristol Veg Fest   and yes, it rained.  We still enjoyed the day. So many vegan food stalls were missing including, some favourites like Ms Vegan Cupcake, Lettices, Mheat, Loving Hut, The Happy Maki, Chai Wallah, and Vegetarian Caviar Club - I was a little disappointed as I have been wanting to get my mitts on some jars of vegan caviar for special meals.       But there was still loads to see, including some favourites  Vegan Sweet Tooth , Elspeth's Kitchen, ,Koko and Sheese. And some new discoveries    And I loved the look of these Raw Chocolate Tarts  from Liberty Loves.   I took advantage of the offer and brought home 5.  Mel's Kindness Kitchen.    Coffee and Cheese   Asparagasm   # LeavesNotLeather by Thamon London   Harpers Candles .  So much vegan cheese    ...
