Food for Thought

Several freshly bottled jars of Seville orange marmalade arranged on a rustic wooden farm table. The set is bright and clear, some made with Doorly’s rum, others with Glenfiddich Scotch. The jars are still new from the pot, light catching the peel, ready for toast.

End of Seville season. Last batch set last week.
Doorly’s rum in some, Glenfiddich Scotch in others.
Bitterness first, sweetness after. As it should be. 🍊🥃

Thanks to the internet, I am abe to see that some very intellectual people are very dumb.

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

A stack of sourdough discard cookies piled generously on a rustic, timeworn wooden table. Dark chocolate chips glisten against the golden crumb, with visible slivers of cashew and small chunks of pistachio embedded throughout. Flakes of Maldon sea salt are scattered across the surface and the table itself. In the foreground lie broken shards of dark chocolate, while in the softly focused background sit a small brown glass vase holding dried poppy pods and a simple ceramic flask.

Sourdough discard put to good use in these cookies with dark chocolate chips, pistachios and cashew slivers, finished with a pinch of Maldon salt. I suspect it will take some resolve to part with the batch before I keep them all. #cookies 🧸 🍪 🤎

Last week no living person had seen a #kakapo lay an egg. Now you can watch it on our webcam: Rakiura laid her second today (15:01 on 25/1/2025). She'll probably lay another in 3 days' time. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/kak...

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. ♡🫕・₊✧ 🥔🍃

Wedges of hispi / sweetheart cabbage charred in butter then steamed for a bit are so fucking good. I get re-excited every time!

Brush your knees off, Infantino 𓀿𓀐 ⚽

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...

Chef Skye Gyngell, who pioneered the slow food movement, dies aged 62 Tributes paid to ‘culinary visionary’ who was early celebrity proponent of using local and seasonal ingredients

Very sad to hear of Skye Gyngell’s passing today. Her cooking has inspired me for years and her books remain a trusted reference. Her seasonal approach and distinctive style made her extraordinary. She will be missed. #SkyeGyngell
