As with many vegetable curries, this is a good recipe for using all the left-over veg in the cupboard – the bits that you don’t really have enough of to make a meal. Using lots of veg bits and rice makes this a very economical end-of-the-week dish, and would also suit students.
As a variation, you could add lentils to the dish.
One way to make a cake special is to add your own marzipan. Making your own organic marzipan is easy and fun and the end-product tastes just great. The only problem is in it lasting long enough to get onto the cake for which it was intended!
Ingredients
175g organic caster sugar - organic caster sugar has a golden colour that adds to the appeal of the marzipan.
280g icing sugar , sifted, plus extra for kneading and rolling out.
450g organic ground almonds - don’t forget that ground almonds are a really useful ingredient in gluten-free cooking.
seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod (or a couple of drops of vanilla extract).
This is easy to make if you have a food processor, but really tricky by hand. By making your own, you can ring the changes – more lemon sometimes, or add garlic. A little paprika, a couple of tablespoons of ketchup ,and you have a Thousand Island dressing!
This is a quick and easy-to-make sauce, popular with adults and kids (well ours, anyway!). Its good for barbecues, or over any meat or tofu. Serve with rice or noodles.

Trail mix: can British people make it?
I’ve never actually said the words ‘trail mix’ out loud. In fact, I find it fairly hard even to type them. They’re just so… un-British. After all, here in Britain, we don’t go on trails - we follow footpaths, rights-of-way and bridleways. And we don't eat 'mixes' - we have a nice, solid bar of something as we walk. But...it has to be admitted that trail mix is a good idea. Read on and find out how to make your own. Read more...
