Index by ingredient

This index is intended to highlight some interesting dishes under each ingredient. I hope it will help both me and my readers when needing inspiration for a particular ingredient. However, it is not a comprehensive list, and will only be updated occasionally. For all recipes see my complete blog index.

I tend to use a lot of ingredients in many dishes so I have tried to include recipes where the ingredient is featured and loved. It is for those days when we are tempted by sale items or graced with gift from someone's vegetable garden or we feel we need to challenge ourselves to try an underused ingredient more. Hence these are some favourites, some standards and some quirky recipes. I have also noted posts about ingredients. These 'about' posts focus on history and culture rather than benefits and how to store them.

I have colour coded the categories:

Please note that this list is a work in progress as I will continue to add recipes and ingredient categories when I have time.

    This is fantastic, it's now an hour and a half into my work day and I've hardly done any work because of what a wonderful distraction that this is. I LOVE recipe lists sorted by ingredients. Oh and I made your broccomole this week, it was great! I'll be posting on it later today. I better get a little bit of work done for now though ;)

    Wow - this must have been so much work - but it's an amazing resource. I can never face tackling such big housekeeping tasks, so have much admiration!

    Thanks Sarah - glad to give you some fun distraction from work - I love ingredients indexes - amazing all the different ways of using one ingredient

    Thanks Lysy - it has been a long work in progress - and much more fun doing virtual housekeeping than the real type

    Thanks Wendy - enjoy the trawling!

    Thanks Elena - this was done over a few months bits at a time and even now would like more time to add more to it - wish I was able to do more html to use links and make it more user-friendly but feel this is a good achievement

    Thanks Lucy - hope it will help you with the market shopping - it is meant to inspire as much as give recipes!

Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
