As is tradition in our house, the turkey has spent 24 hours in brine. It’s now resting in the fridge, properly seasoned and ready for a long, steady roast for Christmas lunch. #turkeybrine ‧₊˚🎄✩ ₊˚🦌⊹♡

I can’t bake these mince pies fast enough, they vanish the moment they cool. Just managed to get this batch onto a plate, with Christmas in full swing in the background. ‧₊˚🎄✩ ₊˚🦌⊹🧸

A walk through a very rainy Sandwich town last night to see the Christmas tree and lights, now I’m getting into the spirit.

Happy Winter Solstice. What better way to mark it than baking a sourdough with organic regenerative flour, then watching the evenings slowly get lighter while the crust crackles as it cools? Simple rituals, well worth keeping. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊⋆ ˚🦋༘ #WinterSolstice

Here’s a quick look at how I’ve been getting the raspberries sorted for winter. A bit of cardboard, hessian and decomposed woodchip goes a long way to keep the roots protected through the colder months.

Raspberries now tucked in for overwintering with cardboard, hessian and a layer of woodchip. I’ll cut back the autumn-fruiting canes in January. The summer ones are still young, so they’ll stay as they are for now. #KitchenGarden 🔴

Here’s a little clip from this week’s "Xmas cake maintenance" feed. Same ritual every time: a spoon, a (no so) steady hand, and a generous pour. The cake’s soaking it all up nicely.

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 🍽️⛄🎄🎁🥂👩🍳

Bread baking drawer clear out and the tools set out on my favourite marble pastry board. Lames, scorers, and scrapers that still earn their keep.

The pallet compost bins are still evolving - next step is adding a corrugated roof to catch the rain, which we’re never short of here. This morning’s temperatures were encouraging: 50°C, 42°C, and 40°C across the three bays. Everything’s moving in the right direction. #allotment #kitchengarden

Yesterday I visited my ma in Essex and we stopped by the Rayleigh Country Market. Came away with Seville marmalade, dark chocolate Florentines, coffee walnut cake, fruit cake and the list goes on...

I've always got time for Turkish Gozleme. I'll take mine with feta and spinach.

Garlic and autumn onions are settling in well - Kingsland Wight, Germidour, Solent Wight, Carcassonne Wight and Senshyu onions. The bed had green manure, seaweed and well-rotted muck. Good to see the prep from earlier in the year doing its job. #KitchenGarden 🧄🧅🌱

It was interesting, Chris. Not what we were expecting. It was commercialised and sounded more like a tribute band. Best part was opening with an old video of Alomar conducting Bowie, Eno and the rest of the ensemble performing 'Weeping Wall' from the Low album.
