These are the artisan breads that I make at my job. Sorry I took the picture a bit too far away. In the picture is my apprentice William. He autistic, but the best assistant that I ever had. Je t’aime William. 🥰

First mince pies of the season (a bit too early but hey).
Short crust with half almond flour, half wheat and rye, and spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and clove. Homemade mincemeat of course...

Was given a couple of wonderful allotment-grown pumpkins by a friend.
So... Seeds roasted with paprika and garlic...
And pumpkin pie, with a walnut/almond crust. Sweet and spicy. Served with whipped cream.

Today's golden kimchi includes coriander, quince and turmeric...
In fact two sorts of quince, true quince grown in my friend's garden and Japanese quince from mine.
Chillis and cabbage from the allotment...
