Previous PostI have just finished “Honey from a Weed” the amazing cookbook by Patience Gray. I refuse to put it on my shelf. I want to start it again. I want to dip into it over tea. I want to cook everything in it (OK, well maybe not the recipe for garden snails). . These are Borlotti beans cooked ‘alla Toscana’ as per page 62. Check out my story today to see how they came to life – there’s even some bean art in there :-)
Next PostThere’s a lot of millet action going on in my kitchen at the moment. . The DIY proofing box is out (it’s colder now and I want warmth for my experiments!) and in it I’m growing two things: . A millet sourdough starter, and . A millet starter for a Turkish fermented drink called Boza. . The sourdough starter is easy, I just need time and persistence. The Boza starter more difficult…documentation is nowhere near as available, so I’m kinda using my nous and seeing what happens!

  • Up to 2 years ago, when I thought of beer, I thought ‘bitter’ and ‘it’s a man thing’. . So when I started researching historical brewing I was floored to find out that, for most of history, in most of the world, women have been the brewers. . Add to that the fact that the brews my ancestors in England would have made in their kitchens (yes, kitchens!) was sweet, not bitter and I realised that everything that I thought I knew about beer was wrong. . If you’re curious, listen to today’s @ancestralkitchenpodcast. In it, I share much of what I’ve both learnt and experimented with the last two years. . I’d love your feedback on this episode! Tell me what you knew, didn’t know, what surprised you the most and how you feel after hearing what @farmandhearth and I share :-)

  • My new *free* sourdough course is all about your starter. 10 video tips that’ll help super-charge your starter whether you’re new to sourdough baking, have tried and failed at a starter or are experienced but would like some extra help. . You can sign up for the course via the button ‘*Free* course: 10 Tips for Creating & Maintaining a Sourdough Starter’ in the courses section of my profile link. . Do pass this on to any other sourdough bakers (or wanna be sourdough bakers) you know!
  • Have you ever lived without an oven? . For several months I had no oven. I had to change how I cooked. That’s nothing on kitchens a few hundred (let alone a few thousand) years ago though; ovens are a really recent thing. . Before ovens, in England, many dishes were steamed instead of being ovened. . Here’s my most recent steamed oat pudding. These were common in the UK (where in many parts oats were the staple cereal) and were often as simple as oats, stock and a bit of onion. Here I’ve added pork, walnuts and orange too. I steamed this for two hours in a glass bowl resting raised off the bottom of a large saucepan that had two inches of simmering water at the bottom. . It’s delicious and the recipe will be going in the book on oats I’m dreaming of writing! . See my story today for more information (and details of how I messed up the first one of these!)
