• Vegeree with soft eggs and smoked salt baked celeriac

  • radishseed on February 17, 2026

    I had a few problems while making this recipe: The celeriac is meant to roast for 20 minutes, but mine came out quite raw, and the instructions don't specify whether it should be fully cooked or not at that point (it gets added to the rice later, but there is no further cooking). When adding the rice to the pot, it says to turn the burner heat up to high, then add cold water and put the pot in the oven. Why turn the heat up to high when you're going to take the pot off right away? Are you supposed to bring the water to a boil first before it goes in the oven? And how small are you supposed to "bash" the coriander seeds? The pieces mixed with the yogurt were too big, raw, and a little unpleasant; I would have preferred ground coriander there. Also, the headnotes mention subbing oil for butter, but butter is not one of the ingredients.

• Goodwill pie and sticky cider gravy with warm red cabbage and golden raisins

    Previously reviewed the pie (excellent) but finally got round to making the cabbage and we really enjoyed it. The highlight for me was the candied pumpkin seeds which are amazing and will definitely keep that one up my sleeve to use again. Made the gravy at Christmas and wasn't great - temp too high, leeks burned, final consistency too thin and overall meh.
