Autumn is a perfect time to enjoy cabbages, kales and other green vegetables!
Today we have decided to make a Winter Minestrone and coconut macaroons. Even if we enjoyed them, we still need to master our coconut macaroons recipe as it was too crumbly!
We have been harvesting quite a lot for this session: Rosemary, Thyme and Parsley, Nero and Curly kale, Chard and Savoy cabbage.
Soup is about reducing waste and use all the veg you have in your fridge. Don’t hesitate to swap ingredients and try something different.
