the beginners guide to stonesoup

w4 warm salad of caramelised onion & lentils

Welcome to Stonesoup – a blog about deliciousness. Food that tastes good and is good for us. The fact that most recipes here contain 5 ingredients and can be made in minutes is a bonus.

For those of you who are new readers, I thought I’d pull together a bit of a beginners guide. The aim is to give you a taste of the best of Stonesoup without making you work too hard.

I also wanted give you a hand navigating through the archives as I can imagine they are a bit overwhelming when you first arrive and I don’t want you to miss out on the best bits.

If there’s a particular recipe you’re looking for I’d recommend using the search or having a quick browse through the recipe index. Or make the most of the search function in the side bar.

subscribe for FREE updates

Make sure you don’t miss out on any Stonesoup. There are two FREE options:
1. Weekly email updates packed with photographs and videos.
2. Daily email updates over at The Stonesoup Diaries.

Me parece impresentable que montes un follon como el que montastes con el tema del Bulli que, incluso, salio en la radio y no hayas ni contestado a los mails que mandamos, Sencillamente decepcionante, dame de baja de tus news y que sepas que “el Bulli” cierra sus puertas en 2012.

troy August 3, 2010 at 8:47 pm

I love how you have a giant “START HERE” link in the sidebar. Some of us need organization like this. Thanks!

CarolQ September 30, 2010 at 4:55 pm

What’s this “giant ‘START HERE’ link in the sidebar” . . . ? It took me FOREVER to find any information about your previous posts (which I love, BTW). For me, here in Wasington state, it’s in tiny, tiny letters after the “Submit” button waaaay at the bottom of each blog entry.

Damien December 1, 2010 at 12:43 am

CarolQ and troy are damn RIGHT !

Please Jules, think about setting your menu on top horizontal, as conventional… try it at last, and see if it does no good to your trafic. ;)

Set your research bar on top too, where it’ll be much easier to find. I’m a webdesigner for job, you can trust me, but i prefer you to TEST it, and see the results.

By the way, i really love the “5 ingredients/10 minutes” formula, very comforting for someone like me who HATE to cook… but want to learn…

But… an article about shopping for food would be great also… for those who… HATE shopping ! ;)

I have found your “shopping guide”, but please remember that some of your readers, as me, don’t live in Oz (not even in a english spoken country).

Thank you for having reading me, i just wish you much success with this blog.

jules December 1, 2010 at 6:32 am

thanks for the the tips damien
and I’ve actually just been teaching a cooking class and we covered shopping – you’re right would make a great blog post.

Stash June 12, 2011 at 3:40 pm

Found your blog from surfing on Vegolicious.

Bookmarked and will be adding it to my daily reading list. :)

dana @ my little celebration September 25, 2011 at 2:43 pm

To say that I am in love with your site is a gross understatement. I just found it today via the brkfst tumblr and am intrigued and borderline obsessed. You have a new stonesoup fan! Hooray!

p.s. I love your accent. LOVE.

jules September 27, 2011 at 9:31 am

Dana
Thanks for getting in touch.. always lovely to hear from readers enjoying Stonesoup!

Damien October 22, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Well it’s been age since I haven’t cross through your blog Jules and I’m happy to witness neat design changes, a growing success and still great content. :)

Keep going !

jules October 22, 2011 at 4:03 pm

Hi Damien
Thanks for noticing!
And glad you approve :)

Meegan October 27, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Hi Jules!
My introduction to your wonderful blog was through a recipe reccomendation… I haven’t looked back since! Thanks so much for sharing your personal story along with amazing recipes and photography, makes me come back and ‘visit’ all the more :)

Abasalt December 3, 2011 at 3:21 am

Dear Jules,
My name is Abasalt,
I’m a student of physics but recently I found that it’s expected time to cook by myself because I resent from lack of creativity on my daily food. so after surfing the Internet looking for a useful food recipe I found yours. wanna appreciate, It’s really helping me and I’m gonna be a real cook. Thank you a million times :)

So, glad to find your site. I have not found another site that sees simple food as being a key part of simple living. Look forward to your recipes and posts.
