Courgette and Mint Curry
I love travelling. Especially travelling on holiday. But the problem with holidays is that you have to leave behind important everyday chores. I know what you;re thinking. “That’s the whole point of a holiday!”. I know. I know. But when you are away during quite possibly the hottest couple of weeks in the UK for […]
Peas, Peas, Peas Please!
I’ve been living in a work bubble over the last few weeks but today is a rare day off and I’ve been enjoying some cooking time alone in my kitchen. No children’s chitter chatter. No husband playing loud music. Just me and my pots and pans. Blissful. I have just made myself an enormous bowl […]
The First and Last of My Rhubarb
It has not been a good year for the allotment. It’s really strange how we’ve had no luck and no time. Usually one or the other motivates us to go but it’s been hard to get excited when everything we’ve planted gets eaten or dies. The slugs have just taken over this year with the […]
Chives – A Perfect Midsummer Ingredient
It’s the end of a weekend of midsummer celebrations in Sweden. I think they have the right idea. Decorating the village, house and of course dining table with lots of fresh flowers and grazing on festive food with friends and family is my idea of wonderfulness. And the food must of incorporate herring. It’s an […]
A refreshing Gujarati streetfood salad – Mango Chaat
It’s mango season! Last week I bought a box of 12 Kesar mangoes for £10. So expensive! My mother will wait until boxes hit £5 but I’m too greedy and can barely contain myself walking from vendor to vendor on Ealing Road in Wembley. I bought two boxes because we ate one in the car. […]
Tasty Tulip Ideas
Have you noticed that tulips are everywhere at the moment? I’ve been about and about today and noticed all sorts of different varieties. They are about the only plants that have come up at my allotment too. The first thought that has come to mind has been to wonder if they are an edible variety. Many […]
Allotment Tarts With Chard
Aside from beetroot, I’ve managed to salvage some chard from the allotment this week. It was being eaten by something a few weeks back but seems to have renewed growth. I must confess though that I don’t much like chard! We decided to grow it because it was just so so pretty to look at […]
Firestorm Runner Bean and Pea Salad with Apple Vinaigrette
If there is one crop I’m chuffed with this year it’s my runner beans. I pulled the last of them yesterday and they’ve given me a plentiful crop all summer. I plant Firestorm Runner Beans as they have beautiful red flowers which are also edible. I planted late this year so didn’t think I’d get […]
On My Travels: Welsh Food Tour – Pembrokeshire Early Potatoes
I am ashamed to say that prior to a couple of weeks ago I had never really thought about the different varieties of UK ‘Early Potatoes’. I’d grouped them all under ‘New Potatoes’ which is to be honest the only variety I tend to see mass marketed in the supermarkets. Jersey Royales in the main. I’ve discovered a […]
Midsummer Hyyge Food
How is it midsummer weekend already? In my part of London we’ve only just started getting those balmy sunny evenings. They have been so few that we’ve savoured each one til the last trickle of light fades behind the trees and the Salvation Army tower visible from that special corner of the garden. Of course […]
