Good Food Kitchen

Sunday selfie from a dreary, rain soaked Kent coast. I’m here for brunch and then off to collect leaves for a leaf mould compost for the kitchen garden. What's your Sunday plans? #kentcoast #outforbrunch

After Meeta nudged me toward her spicy ketchup recipe, I finally tackled the glut of homegrown San Marzanos spilling off the counter. The sauce simmers down with garlic, fresh chilli, ginger, cinnamon, garam masala and cardamom. Bright, warm and aromatic without overpowering the tomatoes. 🩸🥫🍅 I served it with duck fat fries. Crisp and golden, their richness balances the acidity and heat of the sauce. Just enough kick to keep you alert. It’s a full-bodied sauce with depth, made to be enjoyed. ⋆｡‧˚ʚ🍅ɞ˚‧｡⋆ #plottoplate #spicyketchup #kitchengarden #sanmarzanoseason #smallbatchsauce

Tried a new sourdough recipe using my favourite regenerative flour. One angled score, long ferment, solid bake and a crust with a bold ear to show for it. Sliced it the next morning and ended up with proper bunny bread. Three pieces in the toaster, and there it was - side profile of a rabbit, ears and all. Looked ready to bolt. Almost felt bad buttering it. #sourdough_mania #rusticbread #breadbunny #regenerativeflour #countrybread

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
