food, photography and my creative life
In my backyard, I have four blueberry bushes. Three of them produce a small handful of berries every year. Just enough to toss in some yogurt or on my morning granola. Or just eat while I’m picking. The fourth bush, is a power producer. It produces enough berries most years to make a few smoothies or a couple of batches of blueberry muffins. This year,
Little mince tarts are a holiday classic and they’re so fast to put together – if you cheat a little (ok… a lot, haha) You all know my feelings on pastry if you read the blog regularly. We don’t get along. It’s a love hate relationship. I love eating pastry. But I do not like making it – it never works. Maybe I need to take

It’s time. Time for summer to drift away. I can see it happening – the mid-afternoon light is no longer harsh. It’s turned soft and watery and golden. It’s my favourite light to sit and watch – I don’t know why. It’s one of those things I find hard to explain except that it feels peaceful and lazy, like there is no rush. The temperatures
Who does not love pie? Seriously – it’s pretty much the perfect dessert and it takes literally 10 minutes to throw one together. At least, that’s if you follow my “I will never make my own pastry again” rule. If you insist on making pastry, it’s gonna take you a little longer and a whole lot more mess. At least, that’s what happens when I
