Are you game? Pigeon & Cauliflower
I can’t believe how fast time flies. A friend asked me the other day how long I have had my market stall and I said three years. She gave me a look of doubt and thinking about it it must have been 5+ years now! Oops, how did that happen? I am still so happy … Continue reading
Nasturtium wrapped Prawn Balls
I watched a program about a man travelling to the far corners of Japan finding what I can only describe as unique food communities and ingredients.

I had a week off last week. I can’t remember last time I had a whole week off and even the weather agreed.

Asparagus season
I love to go for walks on the beach. There is something about being close to water, it is soothing and it has it’s own beauty. No mater what the weather it always lifts my spirits. There is plenty to forage and there is plenty of sea kale at the moment and I just found … Continue reading
