Mac Cheese was the first veggie dish I ate back in the 60s &#8211; Mum took us to Edwin Jones in Southampton (the superstore of the time) where they served it in the restaurant. We loved it and it became a traditions for Mum to make this every Tuesday! Nowadays, we use whole grain spelt macaroni with masses of greens&#8230;Hablitzia or Caucasian spinach ( stjernemelde) and dandelion (l\u00f8vetann). On the top, we used dried alpine bistort (harerug) bulbils!\u00a0<br \/>This one time rhubarb crumble is the only time I eat sugar each year, something I&#8217;ve kept up now for the last 20 years.<br \/>Dedicating this to my dear Mum&#8230;it&#8217;s after all her 65th birth day too!<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-25325 gallery-columns-1
