. . Dishes & beautiful Memories ✨ . . . What doe . . Dishes & beautiful Memories ✨ . . . What does food or a certain dish invoke for you? . Whether it be a strong connection to a type of cuisine or just one single dish, food has this amazing ability to transport us to a beautiful place full of memories✨ . This is exactly what @mashamabailey found when embarking upon building her menu @thegreysavannah - originally from Savanah, Mashama found herself on a journey of rediscovery in to heritage and dishes she enjoyed eating as a child. Let’s face it, it’s all too easy to forget the food that’s deeply engrained in our culture, food from all over the world is now easily accessible down one street alone! Or to remember those dishes we used to enjoy with our grandparents. But then one single smell, or one single bite and we’re transported back to these beautiful memories🌸 . Unintentionally, I found myself very early on in lockdown recreating dishes I used to enjoy with my family, taking myself back to our Friday night dinners together. Looking back I think I was fascinated by the journey we’ve been on when it comes to food and waste and how this whole shakeup has reminded us to shop more wisely. It reminded me of how my Nanna would run her kitchen, literally no waste at all, cooking dishes she would have learnt from her Russian mother at a time when Jewish culture was muted - these are all the very reasons why reviving, preserving and celebrating our cultures is so, so important💪🏼 . This fragrant Pilaf dish has the ability to transport me back to Friday nights at my Nanna and Poppa’s house - the raisins my sister used to pick out, the lumps of beef I used to hide around my plate amidst a whole lot of chatter around the dinner table🌹 . Thanks to my lovely mum @cngwriter for preserving Nanna’s recipe, beautiful memories forever more💓 . Thank you @sweetroamchicago & @bonjourtasty for this beautiful challenge.

. . Zesty Roots, lentils, herbs and sprouts🌱. . . . Zesty Roots, lentils, herbs and sprouts🌱. . . Filling up on lots of good stuff as we enter in to week 2 of the summer hols - and week who knows what of being Acting Head of Entertainments/Chef/Cleaner/general guru🏆 . Finally went shopping to fill our empty fridge and whipped up a tray of roasted roots to stick in the fridge to keep me going in between entertaining/ outings and all that jazz✨ . Tonight roasted Fennel, Beets & Red Pepper are served alongside these deliciously nutty beluga lentils, lentil sprouts, a handful of chopped mint & fl parsley, a quick zesty dressing and a sprinkling of chilli and lime seeds. Tomorrow I’ll add some broccoli, switch out the lentils for rice noodles and add a quick tahini dressing. . It’s all about the quick and easy wins right now - makes a world of difference when juggling my food intolerances in amongst the day to day madness💪🏼 . Happy Tuesday, here’s to all you lovely juggling Mamas and Papas, we’re rocking it🙌🏼💚 . #simplesupper #foodprepping #batchcooking #batchcook #organised #fodmapfriendly #lowfodmapdiet #ibs #ibsdiet #fodmapdiet #plantbased #plantpowered #eatgoodfeelgood #healthybowls #tiredmama #rockingit
I’ve not showed my face on here for a while, thi I’ve not showed my face on here for a while, this is me just before lockdown with very few split ends - today it’s a totally different story 😆 . For my lovely new followers, I will share my happy gut story, but for now (as this post is meant to be wordless 😬) here I am, a women supporting other lovely women - lets all just be kind please! . #challengeaccepted @thewomen_hood . 📸 @emmacroman . #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #bekind #bekindalways
. . . FAKEAWAY FRIDAY: July’s Takeaway Supper Cl . . . FAKEAWAY FRIDAY: July’s Takeaway Supper Club Experience for a Happy Gut and Mind✨ . So many lovely messages from you lovely lot about last nights Supper Club🙏🏼for those of you who are dying to know what went out (come on, you know you are!), here’s a little insight in to the inspiration behind my gut loving menu. . Inspired by the simplicity of summer picnics, BBQ’s and the many amazing flavours growing in abundance around us right now, last nights meal is a little reminder to hold on to that little bit of simple and slow we’ve experienced the last few months. . I went back to my happy place, our family holiday in Puglia last year and reinterpreted some of my favourite dishes in a #lowfodmap #plantbased #glutenfree kinda way. . Quite simply smashed beans infused with lemon, served with deliciously charred courgette ribbons smothered in lashings of chillis, lemon and mint. A side of massaged kale, candy beets, sprouts and sesame nestled between with a few splodges of sweet and sour gooseberries salsa for good measure. All served with a chargrilled Buckwheat Flat Bread to make eating it all just that little bit more fun😋 . @feedyourmindcandy and @we_are_formless last week floated the idea that plating our food is just as important as eating it, and it’s so so true - everything tastes just that little bit better when it’s lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. Inspired by these beautiful souls, last nights menu featured serving suggestions to get you lovely lot just that little bit more connected with the food on your plates💓 . I love developing menus for each and everyone of my Fakeaway Friday’s but particularly so the past few months when I’ve had so much time to connect with nature and play around with new techniques. Truly grateful for you guys and all your support🙏🏼Fakeaway Friday is taking a little holiday throughout August, back in September with a very exciting menu - yep, I’ve already planned it! . Happy weekend all x . . .
. . SPINACH & MACADAMIA PESTO🌱 with a sprinkli . . SPINACH & MACADAMIA PESTO🌱 with a sprinkling of Strength + Resilience + Diversity . . A simple gut friendly fodmap friendly pesto using whatever I had to hand in the house - although there is a little extra meaning behind this weeks home made batch - four simple ingredients, each chosen to signify my interpretation of African American composer Florence Prices’ Three Roses. . This week, as part of the @foodisourpower challenge hosted by @stemsandforks @mixmixmama and myself I’ve been delving in to the history of African American composer Florence Price - you may have caught the collages my kids put together whilst listening to The Three Roses in my stories earlier this week - and to say we were moved by Price’s story and her compositions is an understatement. . I was particularly struck by Prices strength and resilience and wanted to portray this in both my recipe and the image I created, whilst at the same time capturing the sense of romance mixed with a little sadness. The recipe itself had to have no more than four ingredients, symbolising Hope, something I feel was at the core of everything Price created as she navigated a life and career in a male Caucasian dominated world. And finally I wanted to connect the diversity in each of Prices’ Three Roses through this gut friendly recipe, one that naturally encourages a diverse range of plants to feed our microbiome happy. . If you’ve not had a chance, head on over to @foodisourpower to check out the other entries, the work streaming through is quite simply beautiful. And if you can, I urge you to spend a moment taking in a little about the life of Florence Price - the resilience and strength she showed both in her private life and her career is admirable. . You never know, it may well ignite the creativity in you and your kids - go on, you know you want to give it a go too! . . . #foodisourpower #strength #resilience #diversity #celebrateblackmusic #musicinpictures #wherewomencreate #creativecollective #florenceprice #celebrateblacklives #interpretation #guthealthmatter #gutdiversity #gutmicrobiome #microbiome#ibs #fodmapfriendly #lowfodmap #pesto #plantbased #plantpowered #four #fouringredients #hope

Join me in the comfort of your own home for what’s set to bring you the best of summer plants available this month - our local farms are brimming full of colour and diversity right now, so narrowing down the dishes this month is already causing me to have a few palapatations😆 .

. . MORNING GOALS🌱. . . . How have yours change . . MORNING GOALS🌱. . . . How have yours changed over the past few months? . With my kids still firmly under my feet, and our enthusiasm for home schooling fast waning (lets face it, we’re almost there!) morning goals for me is getting through it in one piece - and being rewarded with a nice coffee in my favourite cup at the end of it! . Life has changed A LOT, but in all honesty knowing the children will be heading back to school in September has hit me with some kind of sadness. I’ve loved having my kids home, seeing them grow and collectively sharing and growing our interests - don’t get me wrong, they also drive me crazy (I’ve got them all chatting to me whilst I write this post!) and never again do I want some responsibility of teaching them all at the same time😩 . So today before I get my coffee reward, me and my kiddos are heading over to @foodisourpower and getting stuck in and learning about African American composer Florence Price who’s beautiful music, had it not been found in an abandoned house in Illinois would not be celebrated today. I can’t wait to get stuck in, this for me is what being at home with the kids is all about, discovering and learning together! Head over to my stories to see what magic they come up with💕 . . 📸a super moist Banana Hemp Loaf me and my kiddos have been enjoying this week with my mighty cup of coffee. . .

Honestly it’s a must to check out, Florence’s music is just beautiful💓 . If like me you’ve struggled to find age appropriate activities to do with your kids, together with @mixmixmama we’ve curated a beautiful alternative for kids, challenging children all around the world to listen to Florence’s music and using food, build an edible collage based on their interpretation - I’m using a mix of dried and fresh food with my kids, but anything goes! .

Head on over to @foodisourpower, and keep your eyes peeled for lots more exciting stuff💓 . 📸 some deliciously fragrant elderflower buckwheat pancakes I threw together with some fritters before the elderflower were blown away by the ridiculously high winds!

. . English Summer Berry Kebabs🌱. . . What is i . . English Summer Berry Kebabs🌱. . . What is is it about kebabs that make eating fruit so much fun?🤷🏽‍♀️ . After enjoying a blustery morning exploring a little beach outside of our little bubble to nearby #littlehampton we popped by @thesussexpeasant to stock up on their deliciously sweet strawberries and red gooseberries😋 . The perfect way to serve the berries apparently is with banana coins and blueberries on a kebab stick - makes them more tasty according to my youngest. Either way, I love the fact that they’re so excited about nibbling on gooseberries filled fruit kebabs❤️ . Feeling so grateful for sunshine and sea today - and super excited to share with you all something I’ve been working on in the background with a bunch of amazing creatives! All I’m saying is, watch this space tomorrow💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
