Food for Thought

No, should I, they are quite messy branches all over the place.

I have two raspberry. bushes that I inherited and no idea the types. One fruits in July and the other September. After flash freezing do you bag them and then freeze?

It sits on a rustic wooden tabletop with a small dish of cream and a handful of raspberries nearby, suggesting the fruit used in the dessert. Food photography by Deana Smart-Zegna. 🍓

Glen Ample raspberries from the garden, flash-frozen last summer, went into a coulis for tiramisu last night. Folded through the mascarpone with the coffee-soaked sponge. 🍓🧺 #kitchengarden

My cat sleeps all day and then keeps me awake all night so this gave me a good laugh.

What a bounty of leeks you'll have next Autumn, Deana. I lile the blue de solaise, they make a wonderful soup.

Like sourdough bread, do you put the cookie dough in the fridge and if so does it rise?
I love pistachios in everything.

A rustic kitchen counter with a bread board holding slices of homemade sourdough and two bowls of leek and potato soup. The leeks and potatoes are from our allotment harvest.

Leek and potato potage. A winter soup, smooth and comforting. Gruyère stirred in at the end for a touch of richness. Served with homemade sourdough. Nothing fancy, just comfort in a bowl. ♡🫕・₊✧ 🥔🍃

Just thinking to myself on how many times per day I use the word sabzi with Persian friends and family. I better get back to preparing my Ghormeh Sabzi... (oops updated to reflect my initial typo).

I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began The granting of patents and trademarks to foods and words from the global south is part of a long colonial grab. It’s time to realise we share what we cook, and what we call it

An excellent piece by Yasmin Khan in @theguardian.com – and I’m very relieved the preposterous case against her has been dropped. www.theguardian.com/food/comment...
