Not in this abode, but this might be...

Lib confused about Italian green? (8)

 

[Duck59]

Same answer, but a different clue from Paul in today's Guardian crossword:

Vegetable, relative having caught cold, cut one.

 

[Morning Glory]

First thing that came into my head was:

Spoiler

tabbouli

But that doesn't make sense...

 

[Duck59]

Simpler. More common.

 

[Morning Glory]

Ah!:

Spoiler

Broccoli

Same answer, but a different clue from Paul in today's Guardian crossword:

Vegetable, relative having caught cold, cut one.

OK so bro= brother, cc = caught cold (?). What about the rest?

 

[Morning Glory]

Vegetable recollected by French novelist (6)

 

[Duck59]

OK so bro= brother, cc = caught cold (?). What about the rest?

Bro + c for cold. Col = cut + i for one.

 

[Morning Glory]

Col = cut

? Not come across that before...

 

[Duck59]

A col is a gap or a pass, usually in respect of between or through mountains.

I have been going through a list of French authors in my head, but none of Zola, Proust, Diderot, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Verne, Stendahl, Camus, Flaubert, Voltaire, de Balzac, Hugo, Baudelaire, Moliere or de Maupassant fit the bill. Other French authors are available.

I've probably written a bad clue but the answer is amongst those you listed. The clue as to which one is in the clue.

 

[Duck59]

I can see a Proust/sprout anagram, but 'recollected' suggested to me a reversal of letters somewhere.

Yes - its just 'sprout' - recollected wasn't supposed to mean reversed - there is a website with a list of anagram indicators and that was one of them - chosen because of the Proust reference.

 

[Duck59]

There must be a Greek mythology/French author clue that gives us Gorgonzola, but I can't be bothered to think of one at the moment.
