Vegiterean Meal for Valentines (cooking advice not restaurant)


Recommended Posts

My annual valentine mantra (flowers/meal/beasting) still holds true but I am looking to cook my missus a nice meal.


She's a veggie, so looking for


Veggie meal

Reasonably low ingredient list

Decent, implying some effort (cheese on toast is not helpful - although very nice)

Not too long in the kitchen


Forum, do your magic....

serious eats is a great site for recipes and methodology


every Feb the main guy goes from hardcore meat eating to vegan


the site picked the following as best vegetarian from 2013


http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/12/the-best-vegetarian-recipes-of-2013.html


But this looks interesting enough for me to do it this weekend


(bolognese yes, but have a read)

Were I to be in your predicament, ????, I'd prepare something more time-consuming the day before (too late?) which goes in the oven in the day (perhaps a celeriac and potato gratin with wild mushroom and leek filling?) and turn up the potential beasting factor on the day with a groovy Ottolenghi-style salad.


Failing that.. Egg and chips?

The parmigiana and the tartlet are only vegetarian if the parmesan is omitted. https://www.vegsoc.org/saycheese#.Uv3qNSg6E20


Let us know what you cook, Quids.

Sorry I can't be much help. I have some vegetarian cookbooks you could've borrowed, but you will probably find a better selection of recipes on-line.


Good on you for doing your bit to make Valentines day special.


I hope you find something great to cook & have a lovely evening.

I would suggest a pizza..


You can buy pizza bases... Passata, Mozzarell Cheese, You choice of toppings.


Mushrooms , Green / Red Pepper , Green Chillies if you want to spice it up.


Some Garlic Bread.


Nice bottle of Red.


Fairly simple....

Probably way too late for your Valentine's meal, but my suggestion would have been to make Spaghetti with Gorgonzola Sage your main course. It's just so tasty, simple and quick to prepare. You can have it all done and dusted in the time it takes to cook the pasta.


I can't find the original recipe I followed but this one is pretty close, though I'm a bit more generous with the sage and use gorgonzola dulce as opposed to the stronger one which isn't stated: http://flavorofitalyblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/spaghetti-with-gorgonzola-sage-sauce.html

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
