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

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
