W A L K T H E W A L K // This morning the Gladstone’s and I made breakfast for an audience over the fire. We toasted bread, grilled courgettes and wild mushrooms, scrambled eggs (with sage or nduja for the omnivores) and burnt tomatoes and chillies to make my favourite spicy salsa quemada. Thanks so much to the audience for your wonderful questions and time. We sold out of my book #EatingforPleasurePeoplePlanet! Thanks @idlermagazine // swipe for pics of other lovely food and demos including @trinehahnemann // Thanks for the pic of my demo @joewoodhouse

C L I M A V O R E // “Food for the new seasons of the climate emergency”.

“CLIMAVORE proposes an adaptive form of eating, shifting for instance to drought-resistant crops in a period of water scarcity or filter feeders during times of polluted waters by fish farms.” @weareclimavore

A very special evening with Turner Prize 2021 nominated artist duo @cookingsections Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe. They collaborated with @chef.tomas.kolkus (see last image) @themagazine_sg @serpentineuk to create an art dinner that addressed the question ‘How do we eat as humans change climates?’

Cooking Sections are a huge inspiration to my work and have reminded me how art can be such a powerful catalyst for change. Please follow them, Chef Tomas and their project Climavore for insight into how we can adapt our diets and reduce our anthropogenic environmental impact.
