Monday is not my favourite day of the week, its usually reserved for prep, research and the dreaded paperwork. Sometimes I make bread in between other tasks. There is something almost grounding about handling sourdough and feeling it develop through each process...

Pear & Ricotta Tartines are today's good thing. I found the recipe - more of a serving suggestion really, in a old copy of Waitrose & Partners magazine (yes, I keep them all) but I think it is also online...

More recent work on Jamie Oliver 's new book '5 Ingredients Mediterranean'. Congratulations Jamie & Team!

Today's good thing, in shades of rose copper. Love these teeny, tiny shallots. Fiddly little blighters to peel though...

Hello Friday, you do seem to come around again in the blink of an eye! Where has this week gone?

Bit of a blue Monday here. I'm not sure if its weather induced, but cake was definitely needed to lift the spirts.

Recent shoot for Mary Berry's new book 'Mary Makes it Easy' for The Happy Foodie Penguin Books UK

Hearty salads and soups on are on repeat here now. Roast pumpkin, squash and root veg haven't lost their novelty factor as yet.

This gorgeous (and super easy) Sausage & Bean Stew by the wonderful Marie Mitchell totally deserved to be raved about last year, when I shot it. I am so sorry for the delay Marie, but I know you will understand my social hiatus.

Who fancies a Friday feast of melting baked camembert, nocellara olives, fresh figs, tiny cornichons , sweet grapes and an array of charcuterie, accompanied by a pile of warm fluffy pittas? More recent work for @mamoosh_bakery

Another day of constant drizzle and another cosy soup to chase away the Monday blues. This time from @rachelallencooks 's gorgeous book 'Soup, Broth, Bread' which I shot for The Happy Foodie last year.
