I love being in the kitchen at any time of day really, and you’d think after spending the majority of my days cooking , that in my evenings, I would want ‘a break’, but it’s so very much home for me. It’s my work space and my resting space . After kids bedtime, I’ll often be found pottering in the kitchen making batches of broth or chia jam. We get through a lot of my homemade jam, one huge jar a week. I’ll put a podcast on , or a playlist or a film on my laptop as I tinker.
Sorting out the pantry, seeing what I need , coming up with ideas for recipes. Doing bits of prep. Not batch cooking per se, but preparing different meal elements - modular cooking I like to call it. Pieces of a puzzle such as boiling new potatoes to keep in the fridge or cooking grains to have on hand , making a dressing making a quick sauce, roasting some veg, simmering a mineral rich broth. All things that can then play a part in a meal within the days that follow.
Don’t get me wrong, I love sitting on the sofa and chilling, and I should probably do it more, but it is my playground this kitchen space, it’s a creative canvas, the heart of the home and the home of my heart.
It’s where it all began, and where it all continues to grow, using this kitchen to support my health, and yours. Ode to the power of a kitchen and making time to be in it, to play, and be curious about food as medicine, and as an opportunity for sensory pleasure.
