My mum’s one and only ‘varškėtukai’ which translates roughly as curd dumplings. This is the one dish I never liked, but I admire my mum’s skill in making them and thought it would be good to document it.

For the main course at @bemoresquirrel I’ve shared even three different easy and tasty recipes for courgettes, as most of us end up with a surplus of them at some point during summer.

You can also have a go at making lovely @lias_kitchen summer cocktail/mocktail, the recipe on @bemoresquirrel insta and while sipping it have a guided tour of @globalgardensproject led by Poppy 😊☀️🌿👩‍🌾🍹

Guess what? I’ve tried the Eccles cakes for the first time last week and I was very impressed - flaky pastry with currants and spices is just such a good combination. I baked some today following the lovely #deliasmith guidance as I felt it suited today’s weather. So good 😊

Overwintering salads are in full flowering mode no

Overwintering salads are in full flowering mode now @globalgardensproject and it makes for such a beautiful sight. Winter purslane is still edible even if in flower, but the rocket is getting quite spicy, unlike its flowers which are lovely and sweet in flavour.

My favourite way to consume rhubarb: roasting cove

My favourite way to consume rhubarb: roasting covered in the oven with some orange juice and honey. This time I used dark and flavoursome buckwheat honey. When it’s all cooked and the sweetness is to my liking, I add some toasted buckwheat which is, interestingly, a relative to rhubarb. #cookingideas #rhubarb #whattodowithrhubarb #buckwheat #buckwheathoney #buckwheatnotactuallywheat

Salad burnet known for its cucumber like flavour h

Salad burnet known for its cucumber like flavour has been producing some new growth lately. I snipped some from @globalgardensproject, took it home, bruised it with pestle and mortar and infused water with it. What a refreshing drink with hints of cucumber. Great for summer, but equally wonderful in wintertime. 😋

Seed sourcing tip. It seemed that all potatoes for sowing have been swept from online shops and I was getting worried if I’ll get them in time for sowing. That is until today where I found chitted potatoes at the discounted section of Sainsbury’s. Also crazy cheap too.

Winter greens dip inspired by @beardfoundation very timely vegan callaloo dip recipe. Instead of callaloo which is a mustard green common in the Caribbean I was using red mustard and ‘green in the snow’. For dipping it could work well with purple sprouting broccoli which is in season now. 😋

Before winter is officially over I just wanted to

Before winter is officially over I just wanted to tell you about the dried fruit compote I’ve been drinking over the winter. This compote is more of a drink, than a dessert although a photo is not 100% representative - I took it after having a good sip of this warming fruity drink. The process is that you simmer dried fruit till cooked, then put fruit away and flavour the liquid with spices such as cinnamon, cloves and some lemon juice. You then simmer that again for a bit and then pour it over the reserved fruit. This is how my grandma used to do it as per hard to read compote recipe in the photo.
