This week we got a Hokkaido Squash in the Veg box. I’ve never even heard of a Hokkaido Squash before, so I had to google it. It is one of several types of winter squash and good for you in more ways than you can imagine. Given it has actually started being summer in London, […]
Its veggie box day tomorrow and I’m running low on ingredients. We have some carrot and cucumber but thats about it. Lovely weather today, for London. Its sunny and warm so I dont want to eat anything too heavy. I have a rummage in the freezer and discover some prawns that need using. I think
