Reading Samin Nosrat's sophisticated jab at Jane Grigson during my morning coffee and I'm all here for it. 😂 Beetroot, my beloved.

Today I learned how baby carrots are made. 👀

The beautiful amber of freshly made ghee. 🥰 Stew done, cabbage for salad prepped and salted. This productive morning was powered by Rise Against. (Sorry neighbours...)

I'M GOING TO WRITE IN CAPS BECAUSE OTHERWISE I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE JOY OF FINALLY SEEING THE MAYO I GREW UP WITH HIT THE DUTCH SUPERMARKET SHELVES 😁

Goodbye Duolingo, it was fun while it lasted.

What a nifty little app! I have no Apple devices so sadly cannot use it, but tip for anyone who does 👇

Saw a cookbook I was interested in was on sale for €35 (from €56). Saved myself the money on time by learning it uses cups and spoons only instead of weight. How can you call something science and then use cups without alternatives? 😑

Names redacted, because I know AI is shoved at us to solve every problem lately, but please don't ask it for fermenting (or possibly any cooking) advice!

If anyone has tips 👇

A friend sent me this message 2 days ago. Today I started chatting with the two guys who came to fix our kitchen top and one of them ended up writing down a whole list of metal bands I should check out. Wdym social butterfly, I truly don't know what she was talking about. 😂

Brought a cookbook from the library to check out. Hashtags in writing. 'Classic English shepherd's pie' - beef mince. Chicken ragu (white kind, filling for vol-au-vents) - chicken breast boiled to death in plain water and put in a sauce of cream and flour. I don't think I need to read the rest.

As well as the brilliant writing and evocative stories in Anna Ansari's new book, Silk Roads, the recipes are fabulous too. Kicked things off by making a dish of Uyghur ziran doufu (cumin tofu), and loved its aromatic spices and kick of heat against the crispy tofu cubes. Can't wait to try again! 🔥

I've grown a pink and a yellow lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) for a couple of years on the same trellis. I've been looking for hybrids made by local pollinators transferring pollen, but I wasn't expecting to find a new mutation.

Reading time with @alexrainbirdmusic.bsky.social's new playlist in the background. 🧡🍂

Char siu fried rice, simply seasoned with some leftover oyster sauce from the veg, a dash of Lau Sifu's universal stir-fry sauce and a little chili oil with shrimps and black beans. Dessert is Zwetschgendatschi

Woohoo, it arrived! 😁 Samin Nosrat's new book, 'Good Things'. I've been looking forward to it since she announced it. So excited.

Some pumpkin guys 🎃

My insta refreshed before I could capture it, but for the love of all that is holy please STOP BLENDING PEPPERS AND CALLING IT AJVAR. 😩

Autumn 🍁

On most Saturdays I volunteer to help kids learn to code. Sometimes I run my own course, on HTML & CSS. So it was for this half term, and here's what I steered the kids toward making. 🌶️🌱

This morning I was flipping through @catherinephipps.bsky.social's 'Modern Pressure Cooking' again with my morning coffee. One thing lead to another and instead of the planned beef stew a seafood boil appeared on the table. 😁

My businesses offer anything from self-paced workshops to day-long private sessions and beyond: Culinary: culinarycuriosityschool.com Creatives; Rootsandbranches.site Just DM me: Thanks for supporting small!

Fellow writers doing gift guides: I’m a small biz owner offering unique classes, private sessions, and experiences through culinary/fermentation, and also coaching + energetic support for creatives + entrepreneurs I’d love to add you to a class or two for coverage consideration!

Some wild-growing hops (Humulus lupulus) found growing along a street in berlin.

Today's experiment per mum's request: filled with caramelised cabbage (dinstani kupus). Last few rows have a cheesy filling (crème fraîche, egg, cream, fresh cheese) to use up leftover filo.

Her: "I tried your recipe for the cake. I followed everything, but it deflated and it's kind of dry." Me, tasting: "And you're sure you weighed the ingredients well?" Her: "Yes! Well, I did reduce the sugar a bit." Me: "How much is 'a bit'?" Her: "I used 100g instead of 300g." Me: ... 🤦‍♀️

Some pumpkin studies 🎃

Mum's ISP's tech support has instructed her to do a Windows update. My mother has a Chromebook. 😂

Cookiewalls like these can seriously fuck off.

Rest in peace, you glorious woman. 🖤

Laters, everyone, 433 delicious pages to savour... It's GORGEOUS @koshersoul.bsky.social

Little autumn bat fairy 🦇🦇🦇

Most of the dry bean harvest for this year. Blue common beans and pink and yellow lima beans. The runner beans are just starting to mature. They're mostly black, but other shades are turning up.

I think I’m going to need more butter……

Processing windfalls today. My kitchen will smell like Bunny Mellon's. ( Legend says she kept a pan of apple sauce simmering on the stove at all times to scent her home.)

What looked like an adult toy section from a distance appeared to be a questionable selection of pepper mills. The card was just a cherry on top. 😂

Autumn has entered the house. 🥰 And our little raspberries on the roof terrace are still blessing us with fruit.

My biggest achievement? Wanting to compliment a guy while joking, my brain farted and instead of: 'You have such big muscle balls!' (Dutch for arm muscles), I charmingly said: 'You have such big ball muscles!'

I don't know the identity of the person who posted this through my letterbox but thank you. This means everything. I've seen a lot of posts saying flags, stickers and banners are a useless form of protest but what critics miss is the comfort and support they offer marginalized people.

Found smoked pork ribs, cured beef and smoked bacon in the freezer. Autumn is knocking on my door anyway, time for beans! The Balkan way. Eaten with a drizzle of balsamic, and a salted cabbage salad with garlic.

NEW KAVEY EATS COOKBOOK REVIEW: Cheese: 100 Ultimate Recipes For Cheese Lovers by James Martin www.kaveyeats.com/cheese-james... #foodsky #cheese

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam

This morning‘s reading: The Irish Bakery. I’d been putting off buying a copy (shipping alone to the US was about $34), but was on a book buying splurge last week and succumbed. Nearly 350 pages. Tarts, cakes, biscuits, puddings, pies, breads, buns. Even yellowman. Happy with this.

They do. Use recipe websites and not food blogs, there are plenty of sources. Reminder that people are sharing their work *for free* and scrolling down if you're not interested in their format is a lot less work than the time and resources they spent making it.
