Salad on a Stick

This dish is inspired by a Basque Pintxos recipe called Gilda. A Gilda usually consists of an olive, anchovy and pepper skewered onto a toothpick. My daughter loves olives so I thought this might be a fun way to deliver them along with some other vegetables. Salad on a stick...

‘#Ad | Let’s eat out! Swipe through my images, to see my top 3 places to eat out in London and smell good whilst doing it. Bosch FreshUp is the world’s first handheld device that removes odours from clothes without the use of water, solvents or detergents. It’s perfect for keeping your clothes odour free when eating out, travelling or simply staying fresh between meetings.

It can be used on-the-go or at home, eliminating the ‘chair-drobe’ – the clothes that build up on the back of a chair, having been worn once or twice, and are in need of refreshing. At home we are on a mission to reduce our washing, FreshUp is helping us do just that.

V I C T O R I A N V E G // How have our vegetables changed since Victorian times. @dulwichgallery have an exhibition on called Unearthed: Photography's Roots. “Discover the pioneering story of photography from the 1840s to today, told through stunning still lifes of plants and botany.”

It was intriguing to see old varieties of our favourite plants today, like these Telegraph cucumbers, Bean Longpods and Mangold Long Red beetroots. I wonder how they tasted? And if they differed nutritionally.

C O R N C O B S E A S O N 🌽 So excited for maize season. How do you like yours? I like to barbecue mine in the husk so it steams inside and takes on a mild Smokey flavour. If you get it just right, it becomes tender and a touch chewy in parts. #barbecue #maiz #maize #corncob #seasonal #roottofruit #climatecuisine #

B I R T H D A Y T A R T // Blackcurrant, squash and sage tart with rye and hazelnut pastry. Had a few but not enough blackcurrants in the fridge to make a tart, so bulked it out with some leftover roasted squash and it paid off. I love exploring the idea of making desserts not only delicious but low sugar, whole, plant based and super nutritious. This pastry was made with toasted hazelnuts which I toasted then ground into a flour and kneaded with @dovesfarm dark rye flour, jaggery sugar, ground flax, @soilassociation coconut oil and water. We served the tart with @fairtradeuk cashew and coconut cream (avoiding plastic). Our dear daughter wanted to be in the shot.🦶 #birthday #tart #dessert #plantbased #blackcurrant #rye #squash #wholefood #wholefood #pastry #hazelnuts #jaggery #sugar #flax #coconut #lovefood #plasticfreejuly #eatforpleasure #roottofruit #climatecuisine #cheftomhunt #tomhunt
