Help

G and I are going to have a meat free week.

I did used to be a veggie when we met and have been a vegan (for 6 months!) in the past but would love suggestions for things that we could eat during this week.  We don't eat meat every day (I don't think it's good for you to eat meat all the time) and I'm sure I could cobble stuff together but if anyone knows any really tasty receipies please let me know. When I say meat free I also mean know fish.

Ooooooh I'm thinking about making a stilton & walnut risotto tomorrow night, now!

Nice- blue cheese works so well in risotti- but being of Italian extaction this is one where I tend towards gorgonzola- I keep the stilton for baked taties :o)

Try doing a blue cheese risotto with pears and walnuts some time- unbelievably good! The trick is to add the chopped pears right at the end of cooking so they just warm through in the rice.

I'd a different blue cheese, but I have loads of Stilton to use up from Christmas (also walnuts) :-)

The pears sound like a yummy addition!

Another thing we have in common, here; my mother-in-law is Venetian! :-)

Aha! Some of my ancestors came from Umbria- little place called Castelnuovo :o)

Sounds better in Italian, dunnit? My granny came from Sunderland just up the road from that Newcastle though :o)
