I’ve been meaning to add a bramble (blackberry) jam recipe to the blog for some time now. Not only is it my very favourite jam, the berries can be found all over the place in late summer/early autumn in this part of the world. Thing is, I actually don’t make bramble jelly myself. I could [...]

Toffee Apples

There’s a stubby little apple tree in our front garden which is probably older than me. Its short, gnarly branches produce the most beautiful blossoms in the first half of the year and the most surprising amount of apples in the second.

Already I’ve made the vegetable paella, the white bean and chorizo soup and some warmly spiced lamb chops. They’ve all been exceptionally good. My favourite recipe by far is the Warm Pumpkin and Chickpea Salad with Tahini. We’ve [...]

As suspected, I was too preoccupied with old friends, amazing food and copious amounts of French wine to put much effort into photographing my weekend on the French/Swiss border. A few details to contextualise the few photos below- We stayed in Gex(France) where there was a lovely Saturday morning market; the ceremony was in a pretty village church [...]
