🌱Do you pop the pods or just smashed the bean? - I never had Edamame beans until last year and didn’t get the hype until I tried them with salt flakes and various seasoning. - They are often sold while still encased in their pods, which are not meant to be eaten!! You can also buy shelled edamame, without the pods, as seen in the pictures. They are also a good source of plant-based protein with 155 grams of cooked edamame provides around 18.5 grams of protein. #biffenskitchen #foodforthought #edamame (at Sherfield on Loddon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0urn1A9Cx/?igshid=xym9i5c74n3q

🇮🇳First attempt making gluten free chapatis. They were good but didn’t hold very well due to not having the elasticity that wheat flour gives. I’m going to try and add GF xanthan gum to see if that’s helps or maybe more olive oil... Using wheat flour and whole meal flour works a treat but I want to make sure that my customers who have a gluten intolerance don’t end up eating cardboard. 🤓Back to the chopping board...

Tag a mate who needs this set up! Get tanned, be productive and enjoyed working from home. If you want a big box, just order something small off Amazon and they will send you a stupidly oversized box for your order. #workfromhome #gettingtanned #beingproductive https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVqx-0AJfw/?igshid=1i8izn4abqy2z

🚚 Another busy week planning, cooking and delivering. So pleased to have such a great community around me and support over the last 6 weeks. 🤷‍♂️ Question, why do you love Katsu curry so much? I have my reasons but what are yours? 🍛Last year it was my best seller, this year it’s still the most popular dish. #biffenskitchen #katsucurry #fooddelivery (at Sherfield on Loddon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPj7Nygptz/?igshid=1uu6vo5nhhuc0

🐶”Sorry Reef, but I’m going to have to keep the shack closed for a little longer”. @oceanpitch aka Benny & Lou, thanks again for an incredible first season and your ongoing support! I am eagerly waiting to get back and feed the locals my new menu with a click and collect service, following the updated government guidelines. Until then, I am keeping busy with Bifferoo in my local villages once a week and giving them a taste of a Croyde. #biffenskitchen #croyde #goldenretriever (at Croyde) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAH4uQvAiZG/?igshid=19w2ouos1i8qr

🔵Cookie Monster Overnight Oats🔵 This is a great way to get your kids (or big kids) to enjoy and create their own a healthy breakfast while at home. I like to smash up 1 banana with a fork, add @flahavansuk thick oats, honey and milk. Mix it all together and pop in the fridge overnight. Then in the morning, let the kids create their Cookie Monster with blueberries and raspberries or strawberries. #biffenskitchen #overnightoats (at Sherfield on Loddon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_T8D9xA8rm/?igshid=18tj2a472ajh

🌍 Earth day 22nd 2020 This day celebrates the environmental movement and raises awareness about pollution and ways to maintain a clean habitat. Now, no one is perfect when it comes to being eco-friendly but if we all make ourselves more aware of what damage is going on and how to make changes to our lives to aid the environment then this is a good message to send to businesses, governments and other people around you to also change. I mean, coronavirus is causing issues and deaths all over the world BUT it also has led to reduced pollution, re-emerging wildlife and plunging oil prices! Let’s just hope that the post-pandemic life can continue with appreciation of what we have around us and how we can keep it going. 🤞 (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SQ4Wbnwrs/?igshid=1acyiizeuslzu
