Good Food Kitchen

A bumblebee still busy in September, gathering pollen from the cosmos I planted along the allotment border. Surprised to see one active this late, but the blooms are clearly worth its time – legs dusted, wings humming 🌸🌻🍯🐝💛 #savethebees🐝 #savethebeessavetheworld #allotmentlife🌱 #bloomscrolling

Courgette fritters with potato, onion and feta, served with a bowl of homemade tzatziki. Crisp edges, soft centres, and just the last of this year’s courgettes from the allotment. I make a version of these every year - this one’s a little richer, and the feta adds a nice bit of sharpness. #courgettefritters #allotmentharvest #homegrownharvest #simpleplates #zucchinifritters

I recently made this gooseberry and blackcurrant frangipane with fruit from the allotment. The sharpness of the fruit - red and green gooseberries, and blackcurrants — cut beautifully through the soft, nutty almond base. Served warm with cream - not a crumb left behind. #frangipane #gooseberrytart #kitchengarden #blackcurrantcake

A bucket of ripe plums gathered from a neighbours allotment patch. I’m thinking a slow simmer with sugar until it deepens and thickens. Jam jars at the ready. #kitchengarden 🍑 #plumseason #allotmentlove❤️ #juicyfruit #gardenofengland

Blackberry season is in full swing, and the neighbouring allotment plots are brimming with fruit. I had an open invitation to pick some, so here’s a short video of a bit of (permission) based scrumping - sky blue nails and all. #allotmentlife🌱 #homesteader #blackberryseason #kentcoast
