Saw people raving about @nigellalawson chocolate chip cookie recipe. There are as good as you think! Providing them for key workers via @thepeoplesarmyldn they need a treat to get them through those night shifts. About to start on the summer rolls, the soup (potato and rosemary) is done. #nhs #chocolate #cookies #chocolatechipcookies #chocchipcookies #treat #Lockdownlarder

In the 11 years I’ve been running my supperclub

In the 11 years I’ve been running my supperclub my house and garden have welcomed 1000s of people. This does take a toll and I’ve been using the lockdown & the unemployment to spruce up, repaint & repair my home. Here is the summerhouse/shed which I cleaned and repainted this weekend. I do love interiors and exteriors for that matter. Also am covered in paint but running out of old stocks. Trying to use up all those half cans. More pix later. #shed #londongarden #londonlockdown #citygarden #gingham #wicker #paintedwood #supperclub #keepingbusy #heatwave

I’ve been cooking every week for @thepeoplesarmyldn providing food for keyworkers including Whittington hospitality, marie curie hospice and uch hospital. I’ve been supported by @wingyipstore for ingredients and packaging. I make 3 courses: soup, mains, cake. All vegetarian or vegan. After weeks suppressing panic at my financial situation, my isolation & my health this has really helped me. To feel of use is essential for your well being. Any donations should go to their crowdfunder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/covid-19-meal-relief-islington-london also contact them if you are vulnerable in Islington, a keyworker organisation, or want to volunteer.

Pav bhaji sandwich with refried curried potatoes, a hefty sprinkling of chaat spice between two buttered slices of cheap soft bread.

Sometimes I’m such a girl. Taking up embroidery during lockdown, like a lady of yore. Today is bloody chilly outside so no gardening, staying inside, protecting my complexion, sewing and telly. #lockdowncrafts #embroidery #sololockdown #keepingbusy #mysocalledlife #properlady #heartshaped #sewing

Another cake in the oven: I’ve been perfecting an apple, fudge, rum, cinnamon cake. Trying a different shape. Wish I had walnuts. In the oven for 50 minutes. See you on the other side of baking. #bundt #coronabaking #apples #cake #rum #cinnamon #apples #fudge #Lockdownlarder

I’ve made/fermented green tea leaves to make the Burmese speciality lahpet. This was inspired by a Burmese fusion lunch @therivercafelondon with the authors of @makhincafe. Problem is I’ve never been to Burma, only been once to a Burmese restaurant and am not sure how lahpet should taste or look. Did that stop me? Hell no. Does it look right? @meemalee @makhincafe ? #fermentation #burmesefood #experimentalchef #haveagochef #Lockdownlarder

I seem to be obsessed with making loaf cakes: here is a fudge, cinnamon, apple cake and the ubiquitous #lockdown banana cake with rum to add to the blood orange drizzle, the poppy seed stollen, the poppyseed babka. Run out of butter now. Provided slices of all these cakes to nhs Whittington hospital on Saturday along with @thepeoplesarmyldn still have plenty of flour from @shiptonmill. May start a fundraiser for more ingredients so I can cooking for the vulnerable. Nice to feel useful during self-isolation. #loafcake #baking #Lockdownlarder

Today’s lunch: stuffed roasted tomatoes filled with anchovy, garlic, sourdough breadcrumbs, olive oil. Cut top off tomatoes. Scoop out seeds and combine with anchovy mixture. Stuff the tomato. Replace the tomato hat. Bake in a hot oven for 30 to 40 mins. I made this with a creamy mushroom pasta: fry sliced mushrooms in butter, garlic, white wine, at end add a box of cream with truffle (great storecupboard staple as longlife). Toss with pasta. Simple food. #pasta #tomatoes #ovendishes #Lockdownlarder

Blood orange loaf cake. I bought a large box of blood oranges early March and they’ve lasted in the fridge, still have a few left. This recipe is adapted from @ravneeteats lemon loaf recipe- replacing the lemon with blood orange and the cream with creme fraiche. Her top tip is to use @McDougall’s supreme sponge flour which I just happen to have in my flour box.

This months column for the @hamandhigh on #sourdough and #microbakery @seansloaf who has a Rofco oven in his shed in cricklewood. He’s making superb sourdough loaves and baguettes while pastry chef wife Megan makes the croissants. All while home educating their two children. Sean gets up at 2.30 am every morning and goes to bed at the same time as the kids at 7.30pm. Sean bakes all morning, delivers on his bike then makes another batch of dough in the afternoon. Talk about pivoting your business! #bread #microbakery #northwestlondon #pivotingduringlockdown #homebakery #sourdoughbread #cricklewood #norfweezy #entrepeneur #baking #covidcreativity #goodfoodforeveryone #coronabaking

Chana dal and tamarind soup. I am achieving severa

Chana dal and tamarind soup. I am achieving several things here: using up my pantry, eating more pulses, testing new recipes, using up tamarind as a souring agent as I have no more citrus, eating more soup, making a lovely warming healthy tasty dish for rainy days. I have enough for 2 days. This was yesterday’s. Today I blended it so it’s smoother. Big scoop of yoghurt or kefir on it and bobs your uncle. Yes I’m bring back brown 70s style cranks vegetarian food. Recipe: soak split peas or chickpeas. Then once soaked, cook with ground coriander seed, ground cumin, tamarind paste. Later add salt. Add some chilli if you wish. Cook slowly until soft. #pulses #tamarind #soup #dal #chanadal #Lockdownlarder

Venus rice or black rice with stir fried cabbage, almond butter and chilli sauce. Spring onions on top. The trick with black rice is to soak it overnight before cooking. It’s still nutty in texture but not rock hard. Black rice has loads of vitamins- iron etc. I’m using up my grain drawer. Trying not to buy too much new food and for rage through my own pantry! My lovely yellow pottery bowl from Santiago de compostella. 💛 #Lockdownlarder

Pictures from my London garden on a sunny day in quarantine. I’ve had this garden for 20 years. Gradually it has become a mature garden, although many losses along the way(the wisteria about to flower after an 8 year wait, the peony dormant for 5 years that suddenly bloomed into joy like an unexpected birth), I built this shed with an ex , hosted many supperclubs, lit bonfires, had bbqs, slept on the grass, hosted 500 people for the underground farmers market, flung nasturtium and nigella seeds to the wind, watched pear blossom snow down onto the lawn, drank champagne under the lilac tree. #gardenprivilege #lockdowngardener #londongarden #supperclub

I probably don’t use my tagine often enough, always thinking, when I dust it off the shelf, that I should make a big production meal. The structure of a tagine means that anything cooked in it is beautifully moist and flavoursome. Here I put olive oil, a chopped tomato, sliced courgettes, garlic, bay leaves & preserved lemon paste. Season. Simple, quick & efficient. You can do enough for one person. I did couscous in the rice steamer, less than 5 minutes & fluffy- not soggy. The night before I did the same with bulgur wheat- in the rice steamer. Tagine from @sophieconran @ukportmeirion it looks so delicate that you fear to put it on the stovetop but it’s sturdier than it looks. My rice steamer was £8 from @ikeauk years ago. Well worth having a rice steamer- most Asian families do- perfect rice every time. This one my daughter kept in her room at student digs. #useupyourcarbs #tagine #vegetarian #vegan #stew #bulgurwheat #Lockdownlarder

Arch of roses in my garden which is pink, mauve and blue with forgetmenots, lilac, clematis Montana and a pastel rainbow of bluebells in cornflower blue, cream, blush pink. Smells of choisia, lavender, flowering rosemary and lilac. It’s a bit empty though. Frustrated feeder urges go unbidden. #gardenprivilege #lockdowngardener #londongarden #coronaloner #feeder #cook #supperclubchef #romanticgardens #englishgarden

Coffee and chocolate loaf made last night. I used the leftovers of some camp coffee which is rather delicious- a kind of coffee syrup. We really are back to world war 2 style baking. Iced with camp coffee, golden syrup and the darkest 100% chocolate from Grenada from @crayfishbayorganics it has bloomed but it was fine once melted. Lilacs from my garden, beautiful scent. Loaf tin in marbled enamel. I love enamel #kitchenware #usingupleftovers #chocolatecake #coffeecake #cake #coronabaking #londongarden #lilacseason #enamelware #Lockdownlarder
