Still thinking of the epic cook we did last Friday at Nature Recovery Training for their incredible barn dance. Amazing how a dedicated team of ecologists, farmers, trainees and growers can transform a barn into a chill zone, dance floor, bar & kitchen!!
I was nervous to cook such huge numbers in an awesome but not massive kitchen but with wonderful support from the team, we did it!
Make sure you come next year - it's always such a fantastic event! With delicious food 😜, great music and a very highly sought after raffle!
Next up at the farm is our last of the year, Breaking Bread - 6th November 12.30-2.30 - book via the Ambios website. A fantastic celebration of pulses!! 🫘🌱🫛

What a wonderful evening we had at The Apricot Centre on Friday - a truly farm-to-fork menu with meat & veg from the farm. A week or two before the meal, I checked in with the farm crew as to what they'd have available & designed the menu accordingly. I served;
🌾Homemade flatbread (using Reclaim the Grain flour) with AC chard & white bean dip
🐟 Smoked mackerel pate on Peter's Yard crackers & quick pickled AC beetroot
~~~~~~~~~
🐄 Slow cooked AC beef with aromatic Lebanese spices served with sumac pickled onions
🌿 Roast AC squash on braised lentils with sumac pickled onions and herb oil
~~~~~~~~~
🌱 Griddled AC leeks on whipped tofu with crispy chilli oil
🥔 Lemon & garlic roast Riverford potatoes
🥬 AC kale with roast pumpkin seed & walnut pesto
~~~~~~~~~~
Followed by a vegan and non vegan dessert;
🍏 Roast apple & salted caramel cheesecake
A lovely group of people feasted in the education room on the farm, a rustic, creative, seasonal & delicious meal using beautiful organic veg and meat grown & raised just outside. This is the cooking I love to do ❤️

Lovely 50th celebrations for Robin and her friends from various chapters of her life. I catered the Saturday night - a roast squash, pepper and mixed bean chilli with rice, guacamole, salsa, corn chips and a lime coriander slaw. Completely vegan (though some had creme fraishe or cheddar with theirs) - delicious, seasonal, vegan & gluten free. Followed by cake made by friends 😍 I made a beetroot chocolate cake (dairy and gluten free). There was also a chocolate banana cake and a lemon and blueberry cake! Beautiful to collectively celebrate a friend on such a gorgeous spot on Dartmoor ❤️

Thanks to Ben’s Farm Shop for the veg!

Tuesday is my favourite day - School Farm CSA veg box collection day! I love these stunning stripey beetroots 😍. I stuffed an aubergine half with spiced onion, tomato & chickpea (normally I bake with tahini on top but was aghast to discover I've run out of tahini. Genuinely upsetting!) and enjoyed it with a beetroot and pointy cabbage slaw and 'Greek(ish)' salad on lettuce boats. Delish!
With these extreme temperatures and dire lack of rain, I imagine farming is pretty brutal right now so here's my ode to the small market garden farm, feeding us beautiful nutritious food despite the climate challenges ❤️

Last month I hosted a fundraiser for Shereen. She and I chatted for weeks beforehand; planning the menu together & choosing the music I'd play. She recorded a message for guests to hear and I made a slideshow of pictures she's sent me since we 'met' on WhatsApp two years ago. People came and we feasted on a delicious three-course meal and raised £1000 for Shereen, her husband and four sons.
My friend Cait made a film of the evening. Unfortunately it's a big file and Shereen replies on 4g so she hasn't seen it yet but I wanted to share it with you. I'm so proud of the evening. I'm so glad to know Shereen and to have been able to share her story.
Link in my bio if you'd like to donate to the crowdfunder. I'm sending her money again soon

Todays kitchen was the beautiful herb garden that is . What a stunning setting to be cooking at. Really magical day 🌿
I made a herby tomato, courgette & mushroom risotto with salad leaves and a Shirazi salad.
I want to cook in a sunny garden everyday ❤️
