About

What is the thinking behind this? I’ll be wholly honest, this is essentially me wanting to shove a load of veggies onto your plate, but have it taste wonderful. This does just that. It’s one of those meals that is what it is. No prim and proper presentation, just great veggies, all merged into one big pot, a bit like the Royal Variety Performance.
