MY DARLING LEMON THYME

stir-fried millet with ginger, broccolini + fried egg

You may have noticed a little theme happening around here lately… and it begins with the letter M. You’ll see next month why I’m on a bit of a millet tangent at the moment, but for now lets talk about this beautiful gluten-free grain. If we’re getting technical, it’s actually a seed, native to Western Africa. […]

roasted pumpkin, millet + herb patties

If you were to peak into my fridge on any given day, you’d be greeted by numerous jar of flours, fresh and fermented vegetables, a large jar of sourdough starter-taking up half the top shelf, some excess kefir grains (doing their thing) and all sorts of containers of leftover food from the night before.

warm puy lentils w/ spiced cavolo nero {gluten-free + vegan}

All […]

For a good few years, once the last […]
