I am trying to get creative with Veges to make them more appealing to both the kids and I - I will read through the threads but if you have any surefire quick and easy ways with veges, then please share :0)
I have been doing the beans in olive oil, with garlic and toasted pine nuts - and sprinkle of parmesan - that was delicious
And tonight I tried Cauliflower Puree - boiled in chicken stock, added knob butter, little milk, salt and pepper - the kids loved it.
Is there any particular cookbook with great vege ideas!
Thank you for any suggestions

Roast assorted vegetables on baking paper in bite sized pieces (potato, kumara, pumpkin, carrot, red onion, mushroom, capsicum, broccoli, cauliflower) for 40 mins at 200*C after stirring through a little oil to coat.
After they're cooked add a grind of black pepper and a little salt to taste and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

Hi Kazzy, ive just been reading! Tender - A cook and his vegetable patch - by Nigel Slater, it has really inspired me to eat more veges and i love them already, i loaned it from the library but have just been online to order my own copy. Someone mentioned that he writes a weekly collum! in the guardian, you could google his recipes.
