Eating sustainably: three new superfoods

June 20, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

Am I alone in having good intentions that frequently outshine my actions? Surely not. Though I’ve thought (and written) much about our intentions to live as sustainably as possible, in real life, time or cost often win out against worthy ideals. So, yes, I grow a lot of veg and get a weekly organic veg … Continue reading Eating sustainably: three new superfoods

My kids killed my love of cooking

May 25, 2016May 15, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

When I was growing up, as one of four children, being fussy wasn’t an option. I don’t think it ever really occurred to any of us that we might not eat a meal – we were normally too busy fighting over the seconds. Sure, there was certain food I wasn't as keen on as other … Continue reading My kids killed my love of cooking

The fruit preservation society

January 21, 2016January 20, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

I’m a chronic over-caterer. I’d far rather have leftovers for weeks than the thought of – good god! the horror! – a guest leaving the house after a meal still feeling a little bit peckish. This urge to feed someone more food in one day than they could reasonably eat in a week really comes … Continue reading The fruit preservation society

Feasting on sour cherries: morello cherry compote recipe

July 15, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 8 Comments

It was a bumper harvest from our little morello cherry tree this year. We planted it two years ago, in the front garden, and – until now – it had spectacularly failed to either grow a lot or produce very much fruit. But, back in Spring, I was excited to see the branches weighted down … Continue reading Feasting on sour cherries: morello cherry compote recipe

Grow, forage, cook: stickyweed salsa verde

May 6, 2015May 5, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I am just absolutely bloody loving this good weather. Oh, the sun! Oh, the warm temperatures! Oh, the chance to potter around the garden, smelling the fabulous springtime smells of new growth out there! Actually, though, not a huge amount of pottering has been done in … Continue reading Grow, forage, cook: stickyweed salsa verde

Grow, forage, cook: a Christmas hamper

November 19, 2014November 29, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 8 Comments

If there’s a better present in the world than a hamper at Christmas, I’ve yet to come across it. Oh, wait, I do know of a better one: a homemade hamper, stuffed to bursting with delicious goodies made over the previous 12 months. (Note to readers: please do feel free to read this as a … Continue reading Grow, forage, cook: a Christmas hamper

Grow, forage, cook: September round-up

September 30, 2014September 30, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 13 Comments

Ah, September, always one of my favourite months of the year. I say this not just because it is the auspicious month of my birth. (Actually, my birthday was a rather muted affair this year; the sproglet choosing the day to give me two full-on hour-long tantrums and my birthday cake not lovingly made by … Continue reading Grow, forage, cook: September round-up

Grow forage cook: spicy plum chutney

August 26, 2014August 26, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

There’s been a definite chill in the air this week and I have to keep reminding myself that, yes, it is still officially August and still officially summer. For one more week at least... I’m sure I can feel the days shortening imperceptibly each evening and my summer duvet is wrapped more tightly around me … Continue reading Grow forage cook: spicy plum chutney

Grow, forage, cook

August 1, 2014November 29, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

It's the bucolic dream: cooking with produce fresh from your veg patch, or plucked from the hedgerow with your own fair hands. A lamb bleats contentedly in the background, the birds cheep overhead, the sun shines down through the trees, the dappled shade ripples over your wheelbarrow and far away up a hill, a shepherdess … Continue reading Grow, forage, cook

Love this idea from @nurturingfolk — 60 pictures from 2022, set to 1 second each and don’t overthink it or stress!
We had a gorgeous Christmas at my sister’s in Gloucestershire, where the houses are beautiful especially when the sun sets across the valley and bathes everything in a golden glow.
Had to get some of the snowy delight onto my grid…
A magical week in Umbria at @ahavenforstories. Morning mists, golden sunsets, a whole host of amazing writers who have become new friends, and the absolute best tutors: @noughticulture @elisevalmorbida and Tobias Jones. (I squeezed in a tiny bit of writing too 😉…) Am already planning my return next year.
