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...

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!

There are so many gorgeous herb plants here in the Spanish garden centres, the same varieties that we grow back in the UK and so lovely to see #herbs #flowers #gardening

Wij kregen vanmorgen op de markt van een gezellig ogende jonge kerstman ieder een fraaiverpakt snoepje. Te mooi om op te eten, voorlopig.

It's the most wonderful time of year! 🎄🎅🤶🕯️🎁... Lots to do but no one here is complaining!
Started this cake in early November (a bit later than last year). It's had a weekly cognac feed and is nicely boozy now. I’ll ice and dress it next week, ready for Christmas. Here's a quick snap from today’s spoonful. #ChristmasCake 🍽️⛄🎄🎁🥂👩‍🍳

Introducing one of our newest in the breakfast tweed collection… This is cranberry orange scone! It coordinates beautifully with the collection, particularly with berry muffin, latte and espresso, for building a fade.

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...
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

I’ve got pies and tarts on my substack…each one an old, authentic, traditional recipe but so modern. Spinach frangipane, pumpkin, apple flognarde, poires à la Bourdaloue.

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

Just bottled a batch of Meeta's spicy ketchup, after her prompt to put my San Marzanos to good use. Paired it with duck fat fries for a crisp, golden match. Warm heat, not a burn. Pleased with how the shot turned out too; the sauce glows like late summer. #KitchenGarden 🍜🍽️ 🌶️
