Good Food Kitchen

Sweet peas from the allotment garden, started as plug plants given to us by our allotment friend Sally, and some planted from seed. 🌼🌸🌻 They’ve turned into this vase full of mad, intense colour, and the fragrance is intoxicating. #sweetpeas #allotmentflowers #allotmentgarden #cutflowers #homegrownflowers

The kitchen garden has decided courgettes are now our main crop, especially the organic Luneor. So I did the decent thing and baked a courgette cake - zucchini bread for our American cousins. Not too bad, if I say so myself. In the background: Luneor and Romanesco courgettes, and a vase of sweet peas from our friend Sally 🌿🍰☕ #CourgetteCake #ZucchiniBread #KitchenGarden #GrowYourOwn

Recent trip to Lagrasse, where my sister Beverly lives. We dropped into Cyril Codina for a vinegar tasting with Mathilde - five wine vinegars, five balsamics, two tiny drops at a time. Came away with 15-year-old red wine vinegar and blackberry balsamic. Lots of ideas. 🍶 #lagrasse #vinegartasting #goodfoodkitchen

Our friends Diana and Vincent, made my Vincent, ravioli by hand, stuffed with homemade ricotta and chard from the allotment. How come I missed out on such a treat! It doesn’t get much better than that. Silky pasta, green filling. Absolutely lush. º∙👩🏻‍🍳 ₊˚🍜 ˚ෆ #handmaderavioli #plottoplate #goodfood #handmadepasta #allotmentcooking

Anthony Bourdain Day. I made his lemon and butter roast chicken with Pommes Anna. Sharp lemon, proper butter, crisp potatoes and the smell of roast chicken in the kitchen. Simple food, cooked properly. A good way to remember him. #AnthonyBourdain #BourdainDay #GoodFoodKitchen
