| I'm currently cooking my kale and kidney bean stew. I used to make it every week, but I don't have time nowadays, unless I'm on holiday like I am this week.
I've just put the potatoes in, that's the last difficult bit, I just have to let it simmer for a couple of hours now. |

| Isn't a white bean like a haricot, borlotti or butter bean better in a rustic stew like that? _________________ OK, I'm an old shoe

| I've tried it with butter beans - they fell apart - and haricots - they were too small and didn't absorb the stock properly.
Kidney beans are perfect - they have that bacony taste that goes with the kale, they retain an toothsome texture, and they make the stew visually interesting - the dark green of the leeks and kale, the orange carrots, white potatoes and purple beans.
I've just had a big plateful, and there are 3 more portions ready for the freezer. |

| I'm cooking lunch. It's onion, aubergine and tomatoes all simmered up together, and kidney beans are going in later. Depending on how much there is, I might have it with pasta and call it pasta sauce, or just by itself and call it a ragout. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| Mm, that was quite nice. A bit relentlessly purple though. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| I made my 'pancetta and pea pasta without pancetta' today. You use mushrooms instead of the pancetta, fried black and well salted. It turned out well today because I thawed the frozen peas out in a separate pan so they were nice and dry before I put them in. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| I've made it at last. It took so long to prepare I started eating last night's leftovers during so I'm not hungry now. _________________ OK, I'm an old shoe

Made this for lunch today with soya beans instead of peas, which gave it a fresher flavour. |

| I made a splendid shepherd's pie today, with organic potatoes, organic mince, organic baked beans and an organic stock cube.
I've eaten half and frozen the rest for later. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| I made my own pizza topping over Easter, I've never tried that before. I just simmered two tins of toms till they were thick and sauce-like, spread them on a pre-bought pizza base, sprinkled a load of grated cheese on top, 20 minutes in the oven and bish, bash, bosh, deliciously tomatoey pizza.
Yum!

| Don't forget to sprinkle sliced, frozen mushrooms on as well. _________________ |
