Flower therapy…

Last week I spent the most amazing day at Green & Gorgeous with the incredibly talented @eva_nemeth. A workshop capturing beautiful flowers, grown by the very skilled Rachel and Ashley. A lunch created from vegetables and fruit grown on the farm, it was a truly delicious meal. Honestly, I could have outstayed my welcome, there was so much to take in and capture, I may well have to return.

If you love looking at flowers as much as I do, I’ve popped some of the photos I took on my story,

Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend.

With a run of wedding cakes to prepare and a few other projects on the go I haven’t been able to make as much sourdough as I’d like. Well I remedied that yesterday! I double fed my starter on Sunday, to get it really active and then embarked on making ciabatta. Now this has been on my bake list for some time, it’s a lovely loaf with salads or made into a giant sandwich or even toasted.
I’m almost there on the method, it needs a little tweaking but I’m pretty pleased with the result.

I had the pleasure of making and delivering this wedding cake to @sircharlesnapier yesterday. What a gorgeous setting (I’ve popped a couple of photos on stories).

This was served for dessert, so was filled with a seasonal gooseberry and elderflower compote then coated in Lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
That’s it for wedding cakes, for now at least 😅

A dish that works for any summer gathering and a great Midsummer alfresco meal. Easy to BBQ too.

Have a great weekend friends.

Pepper Spiced Roasted Salmon with Garden Vegetable Salad.

For the Salmon
800g Salmon fillet (or sea trout)
1.5 tsp Malden salt
1.5 tbls white, red & green peppercorns
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp Demerara sugar
2 Lemons, zest only
1 tbsp olive oil

Oven 180C fan.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the salmon fillet on the top.
Place the salt, peppercorns, fennel seeds & sugar in a mortar. Wash the lemons then zest 1 1/2 and place in the mortar. Pound together so that everything is mixed well (if you do not have a mortar, you can mix in a small bowl). Spread the spice mixture over the salmon and rub it in thoroughly. Drizzle over oil. Slice the lemon in thick slices and place around the salmon. Leave out for 1 hour.

Green salsa
Chop the leaves of a bunch of parsley finely, then finely chop a small clove garlic and place in a bowl. Zest the remaining lemon half a add the lemon juice, 50ml EVOO, salt and pepper to the bowl of parsley. Mix together to a smooth sauce. You can also use a hand mixer.

Bake the salmon for 20-25 minutes or until just cooked through. Serve with roasted new potatoes a seasonal salad. And quick pickled red onions.

Glad Midsommar🇸🇪

I love where I live but Sweden is the place to be on Midsummer’s Eve.

Always celebrated on the Friday (between 19-25 June and a National holiday) A day filled with flower crowns (midsommarkransar), dancing, singing and a sun that never sets.

And of course there’s plenty of food, cold beer and schnapps, preferably spiced.
Apart from pickled herring, new potatoes & sour cream there’ll be a main course.
Watch out for my next post in a few hours…
