Recipes

Often, when you are harvesting veg, you will find that you have an abundance of a certain crop all at the same time. At times like this, as well as giving away your veg, you could also think about freezing it or swapping with other 'grow your own' fanatics who may have an abundance of a different drop. Just make sure you don't waste your veg by letting it go mouldy.

Below are links to my favourite recipes by vegetable type. If you have too much of a certain crop then come to this page and find a recipe where the main ingredient is that you have too much of!
