𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 – 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟓 🌶️ Week five. Four leaves became eight. A light root feed with Shogun Katana this week, and it’s responding well. Already stronger than last week - thicker stem, steadier growth. #SeedToHarvest 👩‍🌾🌱

Post a banger that isn't in English.

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 – 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟒 🌶️ Week four. Two leaves became four. The first set of true leaves has arrived. The world’s hottest pepper is starting to take shape. #SeedToHarvest 👩‍🌾🌱

He says he ‘messed up the rice’ - meanwhile it looks better than anything I’ve ever rolled. Time to dust off my makisu.

Lady Marmalade in the house 🎵 Seville oranges simmering, whisky breathing warmth into the pan - sweet and bitter finding their balance. 🍊🫙🥃

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children”, Chief Seattle.

Best time for #baking is sunday early morning, when nobody is up yet and I have the kitchen for myself. Today it was just some #toast - for my lady and the granddaughters mainly. For tomorrow I have the wonderful Oldenburger Schwarzbrot - just rye whole-meal, no flour - on the list. #sourdough

Spotted the first snowdrop 𓇢𓆸 in our allotment kitchen garden yesterday. The late winter transition into early spring. Still brisk out, but change is in the air. #earlysignsofspring °˖𓍢ִ໋🍃✿°.💚⋆

I save eggshells, dry them, then grind them into a fine powder to add back into the soil as part of long-term soil health. A simple organic source of calcium, especially useful for tomatoes, strawberries and leafy greens. #SoilHealth 🥚🌱

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 – 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟑 🌶️ Week three and the seedling is starting to stretch. Delicate and a little spindly, but growing now, extending upwards and settling into its next phase. #SeedToHarvest 👩‍🌾

A late addition: courgette and plum cake with toasted walnuts, baked last summer and nearly forgotten. Courgettes from the garden, Victoria plums from a friend’s orchard. Served with plum jam and tea. Seemed a shame not to share it. #BakeSky 🍰🥒💌🧸🍽️

Early carrots in containers. Amsterdam Forcing 3 and Paris Market Atlas sown into a loose mix of topsoil, sharp sand and sieved compost, with a handful of fish, blood & bone worked into the top. New pot every 3 weeks for succession. 🥕

👇🙌🇬🇧!!

It doesn't need to be fancy, my favorite winter soup that warms you for the rest of the evening! 👍 #beestrot #wintersoups #cooksky

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫: 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟐 🌶️ Week two brings the first sign of life - a fine green shoot breaking the surface. One small emergence, a very long season ahead. #kitchengarden

For those thinking of turning over a new leaf...here's a sneak peek at tomorrow's food column! Tomorrow at 7:40 am EST (GMT-5) 89.1 FM in Waterloo Region, Guelph, & Wellington County Or online: buff.ly/2TEPmBp (set region to Kitchener-Waterloo)

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. ♡🫕・₊✧ 🥔🍃

Happy International Hot & Spicy Food Day to those that celebrate it! 🌶️🌱 Here's what I'd be making if I hadn't blitzed all my Kashmiri chillies earlier in the year. Instead I'll make do with a drizzle of naga oil in my parsnip soup. www.hindustantimes.com/htcity/htcit...

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫, 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝟏. 🌶️ I’m growing a range of chillies this year, from mild to blisteringly hot 🔥 I’ll be tracking this one - easily the fiercest - in a weekly post as it grows. Just a seed in a small pot for now, with a wooden label.

Started sowing seeds in the heated propagator today to get a head start on the season - a few aubergine types, sweet peppers, and a range of chillies from mild to seriously hot. Looking forward to seeing which ones sprout first. 🌶️🍆🍆 #KitchenGarden

Stopped by a local farm shop for Seville oranges. The kitchen is about to smell of bitter citrus, whisky and sugar. Seville orange season has begun. 🍊🟠🧡

“This all had me wondering: what’s Indian food without the heat? The historian in me has an answer: spiciness is historically contingent.”

Bangers and mash made with Yukon Golds and a hybrid courgette mash, grown by our allotment neighbour Thor Davidson, head chef at Luigi’s. Country-style sausages, proper gravy, and kitchen garden generosity on a plate. Real comfort. #ComfortFood 👩‍🍳🍽️🤌🏻

Wolf Super moon 🌚🌛 over the Kent coast - view from my window.

't Klokhuys restaurant in the evening. This is where you go to eat a gentze waterzooi or Flemish stew when in Ghent.

Happy New Year to all our Bluesky friends 💙🦋

't Klokhuys in Ghent makes a pretty decent Gentse Watetzooi, for those who seek this dish.

Good morning, it's minus -1°C in Gent, Belgium - full on breakfast then a brisk walk over cobbled stones to start the day!

Entering Le Shuttle on the Eurotunnel, always a little daunting when navigating the edges.

Wishing all our Bluesky friends a very merry Christmas. The kitchen has been quietly busy here, with a Christmas cake now baked, iced and ready for the table. Hope the day treats you kindly. 🧣🧸🎀🎄

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. 🎄🎅🏻☃️❆🎀🔔🎁🦌#SilentNight

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

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 🔴

Collecting the last of the autumn leaves to make leaf mould - oh what fun! .𖥔 ݁ ˖🍁๋࣭ ⭑🍂༘⋆

Been hunting high and low for Yukon Gold seed potatoes in the UK. No luck so far - not even Otter Farm @markdiacono.bsky.social , where I once found Amandine. Just read a Serious Eats piece explaining why Yukons are vanishing. Starting to make sense now.

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 🍽️⛄🎄🎁🥂👩‍🍳

It's Saturday #Caturday - "Come on mummy, stop lying in it's breakfast time." 🐆🐾

Returning home on the London commute and chomping away on a bag of M&S prawn cocktail crisps - outrageously morish. 🤌

Got too amped up watching Juju's soup recipes, can't sleep now 😆 I would like a bowl of this salmon soup rn pls

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. #ToolsOfTheTrade

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

Morning y'all ☕️ Rye bread, to start.

'Pine nut mouth' - it's a thing. On a train to London speaking with a woman who had this condition. I had to look it up - "Pine nut syndrome, also known as pine mouth, is a temporary taste disturbance causing a bitter or metallic taste1-3 days after eating pine nuts" #pinenuts

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...
