{AD} When I was little one of my favourite things

{AD} When I was little one of my favourite things my mum made were hasselback potatoes flavoured with curry powder, butter and lemon. I LOVED them and requested them often, but strangely after leaving home I forgot all about them until just a few years ago. You guys know I’m here for anything roasted, but slicing potatoes like this creates the perfect ratio of soft-to-crispy that is only made better by basting in curry butter made using @westgoldnz premium NZ butter. Give these a whirl and let me know what you think! #westgoldnz #westgoldbutter

Curry butter roasted potatoes
Serves 4-6

1.5kg small potatoes, scrubbed
100g Westgold salted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
Juice 1 small lemon
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 200C (400F). Place one potato at a time onto a chopping board, lay two wooden spoons or chopsticks down either side, then using a sharp knife slice through the potato, making sure you don’t cut right the way through (the wooden spoons/chopsticks will help prevent this in the middle of the potato, but you’ll still need to take care on the ends) at about 2mm intervals. Transfer to a rimmed baking tray and continue until all the potatoes are done. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Turn off heat, add curry powder and lemon juice and mix well. Brush half of the curry butter over potatoes and season generously with fine salt and pepper. Roast 10-15 minutes, remove from the oven and brush over remaining curry butter before returning to the oven and cooking for a further 25-30 minutes or until golden and tender. Serve hot.

When the world feels really loud and shouty, it's

When the world feels really loud and shouty, it's my nature to pull back and get quiet. To be still and invest my energy in staying centered. It’s also been a must to keep myself sane. I know I don't need to point out all that's going on in the world right now, but for me personally this year has been about pain, acceptance and deep questioning. Many days and weeks have been spent on the couch, barely able to move, the pain in my back so severe. And after many months of waiting, MRI finally confirmed I have one bulging and one torn disc in my lower back, painful AF but thankfully not major enough to warrant surgery. I've surrounded myself with practitioners who really know their stuff and thankfully in the last 6-8 weeks, we've managed to naturally reduce my pain to just an annoying niggle, 90% of the time.

I've had so much time to think about life, what's working, what isn't, what it is I really want to be doing and while I'm still figuring out a lot of it, the one thing I do know is that my relationship with this platform has changed. I no longer get the joy and inspiration from it I once did, and judging by the reaction to a story I shared recently, I know many of you are also grappling with these very same thoughts and feelings. What this means going forward I still don't know, but I do know that investing as much time and effort into this space as I once did, just isn't something I want to be doing anymore. So, I’ll be here when it feels right and at other times I’ll be putting my phone down and living life without sharing, ya know? I really hope you’re all doing ok out there, I know it can all feel a bit much, but try and find those little moments of beauty, pause and peace throughout your day, and hold onto them with all your might! Much love, Emm X
