have been very luckily cooked for recently - delicious pasta with pesto made from last year’s wild garlic at a friend’s house last night, and i came home from work tonight to roast lamb shoulder, tartiflette and dressed rocket leaves from the garden made by Farrer 🤍 #cookjan #otherpeoplecookforme

a luxurious porridge for a beautiful, cold morning. topped with cinnamon, cardamom, banana, dates, blueberries, peanut butter and seeds. using the cold weather as an excuse for lots of leftover festive cream in here #cookjan

gonna make this my #cookjan thread. Farrer made thyme and za’aatar roasted beetroot, carrot and feta with hot smoked salmon, fresh mint, and garlic cavolo nero. (his cooking will probably mostly feature here lol)

sometimes you have to identify with a sunken ship, from a 70s ballad by a canadian folk singer who died tragically young, in order to get through the day
