Hi friends,
There’s no newsletter today. I am taking a weekend off to
finish re-watching One Tree Hill with Pete (it took us nearly two years), I still sob at every other episode, ten years on
catch up on reading (Potluck Zine issue 3, An Omelette and a Glass of Wine, Tiny Moons: A Year of Eating in Shanghai and loads more)
reading Tiny Moons made me hungry for every single dish from the book, so I am exploring my Chinese cookbooks (which I don’t have many of), please send trusted recommendations
cook my first ever duck breasts
laugh until I cry at this Masterchef video
bake Hazelnut Crumble Cake with Nutella Ganache from Ottolenghi and Helen Goh
make Rosie’s Wild Garlic Scones
listen to DMX, RIP
give Frank extra cheek rubs
visit my allotment and repot some house plants
plan the week ahead and mentally prepare for my first FIVE DAY WEEK in a VERY long time *crying*
See you next week for a Coconut issue with some stunning illustrations from my friend Katya. I’ll be cooking my way through Solo by Anita Lo and reporting on my adventures a week later. If you have an ingredient you’d like to see covered in the upcoming weeks, let me know here or on Instagram.
Hope you have a relaxing Sunday and an easy week ahead. Don’t forget to wear your masks and wash your hands when/if you’re visiting shops, gym and pub gardens next week!
