I will eat any vegetables apart from peas and brussels sprouts. My current favourites are butternut squash, celeriac, french beans, pak choi, celery and leeks. Ask me again in a few weeks and the list will probably be different. I had a thing for aubergines a while ago, but have gone off those for a while.

OOh yes, fennel. Either very finely sliced in a salad (use a potato peeler), or thickly sliced and braised. Delicious.

Anything, but fennel pretty much. I am more of a veg eater than fruit and I love roasting them. I also stem them and eat them raw, I'm a big fan of veggie sticks. I'm also on a mission to find or make a nice dip. There really aren't any listed in the recipe section unless using the word 'dip' is the wrong word to use.
If someone could point me in the correct direction for this that would be great.

There is a nice syn free houmous recipe on here, unfortunately can't link to it om my ipad but should be there if you do a search, one I used to have a lot but haven't made recently is like a raita, fat free Nat yog, grated cucumber, black pepper and a squeeze of juice and little bit of rind from from a lemon. Yummy! Also could make a salsa with finely chopped red onion, peppers, drained tinned plum tomatoes chopped after draining to allow some juice but not too much.

Thanks that sounds yummy, I can across the humous one the other day myself. I'm thinking more along the lines of chive/onion dips you get from the supermarkets. Will have to try that other one, and totally forgot about salsa! Have attempted one by myself, it's sitting in the fridge to let everything mingle, hopefully it will taste nice.
