  • Food community friends, I have a question to ask. If you feel resistance to this question, take a moment, pause and reflect. These questions are not put forward to foster anger or exclusion, but to hold space for questions that, as a community, we tend to ignore. We perceive the beauty of a photograph not through an objective and inclusive lens but a lens that feeds into an algorithm that then minimises the works of so many others. We frame things for likes and, therefore, positive attention. So what do we do when we share something that receives negative attention? Learn? Hold space? Attack? Delete? A few weekends ago a lot of people had some very real objections to protests and black squares. A few people felt that having anyone of colour in their life made them authorities on not only the lived experience of humans but also the acts and practices that brought us to this moment. These posts, and the following attacks on fellow IGers have seemingly disappeared from timelines. But the wounds remain. When we harm another, wittingly or unwittingly, do we have the moral right to erase our actions? When we witness someone being harmed, do we have the moral right to stay silent? And, based on those answers, can we really claim to be a community?
  • Preparing custom Father's Day orders and revisiting erithrytol syrup. We mentioned before that it changes icing natural colouring - but not in a cool seamless Instagram-perfect way. It's more blotchy and apparent in it's transformation. . . So we thought we'd share it with you. Edit & update: Today is the anniversary of the 1976 Soweto Uprising, and is commemorated as Youth Day in South Africa @dee_visuale has shared some pieces that she created from that time. Check them out.
  • There is an overlap in our support services and food. Sometimes, we all need something bespoke. Made just for us. Oftentimes, support needs to be tailored to the person or group that we work with. In tailoring, we all recognise that in life there are margins of error and that both inclusion and accomodation of needs is an ongoing process. Sometimes, health concerns, food intolerances, food allergies and even cravings mean we need more care and attention. Such that even the offerings you might find wandering into a free from aisle at the supermarket don't even come close to nourishing us...if they are suitable at all. This photo is from a custom sourdough that we created for a client on a restricted diet. They were so grateful for the first delivery that they broke down and told us that no-one had ever taken them this seriously before. If one loaf of bread can restore one person's confidence in others and, in turn, themselves. Imagine what you can do.
  • A few weeks ago our friend @sabrina.nolan.jaques.art posted a beautiful set of paintings of flowers, detailing having been taken off course from her one painting a week challenge. I remember seeing them and thinking that often we forget everything a plant needs to go (and get) through to bloom. Yesterday when the elderflowers finally bloomed here, I was taken back to that moment. In that spirit, we have something to share with you too: a recipe for elderflower syrup (if refrigerated it will keep for a year), and a recipe for elderflower fizz. And also, do check out Sabrina's page, we were lucky enough to work next to her at Warwick market a few years ago, she is so very talented and her page is a source of inspiration and wonder for us. Here's the link for the recipes Https://nineteacups.com/blogs/blog/elderflower-three-ways-fizz-cordial-and-elderflower-cordial (clickable link in profile) Have a beautiful Sunday, and remember how wondrous you are simply for being here. 💜
