Last day of the Easter hols and I have been working through most of it. BUT despite missing out on the familial LOLs, I have been doing (mostly) things that I enjoy and finally I feel like I am finding my stride. Highlight of the 'working holiday' includes finding a name for my fermentation school & community! After weeks of wracking my brain it just popped into my head during a particularly late work night. I love it and think you will too! I am even considering a tattoo of it (that's a lie, but it is tattoo worthy)...Stay tuned and sign up for updates via the link in my bio! 📸@lukejalbert 🍽@zoe__harrington and food and styling, me.
A gorgeous reminder of that time me and @zoe__harrington and @lukejalbert broke a few rules and set up a secret woodland picnic complete with BBQ and were eaten alive by mosquitos, despite the smoke. But at least we got these beauties!! Good work team! 😚 #Repost @zoe__harrington (@get_repost) ・・・ remembering this woodland shoot - a while ago, on a day just like today but maybe 100% more humid... the deliciously cold lettuce soup helped 🥬 photography by @lukejalbert / food by @nena.foster.food / props by me @zoe__harrington

Had this for a few meals over the end of last week, and it was delicious at each outing. Here's a recipe from me to celebrate the seasonal beauty that is PSB. Delicious hot or cold and my favourite bit are the crispy leaves. 😍 Full recipe over on www.veggieoption.com... #Repost @veggieoption (@get_repost) ・・・ It's purple sprouting broccoli (or PSB for those into abbreviations)season from late March/early April to mid-June. PSB is one of our faves, and it's not just the beautiful indigo-hued tops that we love, but the fact that it is so tender you eat all of it. But don't steam it or boil it because you will lose the colour broccoli, so we say roast it. Roasting broccoli adds more flavour and not to mention those crispy leaves. So, here's a quick recipe to make the most of your PSB. Combined with the crunchy toasted buckwheat, seeds and unctuous nut butter dressing-this one will be a hit!

A new monthly feature on @veggieoption, 5 ways to cook with a seasonal ingredient. This month we featured nettles! I loved writing this one as foraging nettles and turning them into something tasty is something I really enjoy and is probably the closest I'll ever get to being a proper forager. Head over to www.veggieoption.com for a read. 📷@sasha.swerdloff #Repost @veggieoption (@get_repost) ・・・ If you’ve ever brushed past a bush and a bit of bare skin has made contact with the leaves, you will know the agony of a nettle sting and will probably envisage much the same on your tongue when you think about eating them. But fear not, a bit of heat removes the sting, leaving you with something resembling and tasting like spinach and packed full of nutrients. Nettles are high in Vitamin C, Vitamin A, B Vitamins and full of minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium. They are also help to support the liver and help the body’s natural detoxification systems (e.g. your liver). And they are also a good source of plant-based protein.  In spring nettles are in abundance you can spot them just about anywhere, in your local parks, back gardens and they are free! So if you’ve seen a patch and want some inspiration for how to get cooking, head over to veggieoption.com 📸 @sasha.swerdloff . . . #veggieoption #eatseasonalveggies #nettles #gseasonalgreens #healthyeating #healthyhabits
