Well, the roasties are ready to roll! I used to make them all the time, and now? Not so much. I can’t say why exactly… maybe life just got in the way, or maybe I fell into one of those quiet cooking ruts we all slip into now and then. But today, something nudged me. A craving perhaps or maybe just enjoying the intentional act of chopping up fresh veg veg and letting the oven work its magic - while getting to enjoy the torturously delicious aroma which permeates the entire house as it cooks! Whatever the reason, tonight’s dinner called for roasties.
I am keeping it simple today… but on more elaborate occasions 😁 there’s a little trick I like to keep up my sleeve… something that takes an ordinary tray of roast veg and turns it into something really special. It’s especially brilliant if you’re a cheese lover, and even more so if you’re entertaining.
Camembert.
Not roasted, not baked… just added right at the end. Do your veg as usual - butternut, carrots, sweet potatoes or whatever’s calling your name. Then, just as you take them out, still piping hot, slice up a round of camembert into little triangles - about 1.5cm on the wider of the two ends, and then just scatter and then toss them among the veg as you are about to serve. The residual heat softens the cheese just enough, making it melt in your mouth creamy and downright decadent!
It’s a small touch, but small things have a way of making the biggest difference.
I suppose that’s true in the kitchen… and in life too. We don’t always need grand gestures or elaborate plans. Sometimes, it’s about leaning into the little things… like roast veg with a little bit of melted happiness tucked into the ordinary.

Until next time...
