Spring means asparagus season, so I like to make this Asparagus and Mushroom Pasta. The recipe suggests optional soy curls, but instead I'll sometimes add sliced vegan sausage that I cook ahead of time.

We have had SO MANY butternut pumpkins (squash) this year, so I've been making and freezing batches of roast pumpkin and kumera soup, based loosely on this recipe. I will juggle quantities, leave out some ingredients, and I find that the seeds make the final soup scratchy, so I will usually heat some oil and fry ground spices before adding the stock and roasted vegetables. Excellent with a dollop of coconut yoghut!
