I’m not a veggie but I often opt for the veggie option for Sunday roasts. So, this weekend, I thought I’d attempt to create my own. It’s great way to use up odd bits of veg. You can throw in anything really. I served this with potatoes, roasted veg, greens, Yorkshire puddings and gravy #roastdinner

Love cooking food that I can share with friends. Never happier than when I’ve got people over for dinner enjoying great food (and great wine of course). I’m a big fan of seasonal ingredients and coming up with quick and fresh ideas for during the busy working week.
