What a treat yesterday at The Company Shed on Mersea Island in Essex. The kind of place that is so comfortable with what it offers to make few compromises. . . . #ISOTS #insightofthesea #merseaisland #crab #britishproduce #visitessex @the_company_shed (at The Company Shed West Mersea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmK1nXIVui/?utm_medium=tumblr

Refried marrowfat pea cake, with spinach , pepper flakes and a dribble of olive oil, would have been great with some yoghurt. A rendition of torta di ceci but using british grown peas. @hodmedods . . . #insightofthesea #ISOTS #locavore #casablanca2constantinople #lovepulses #lovegrains #loveseeds #plantbased #cleverhands #foodie #instafood #instayum #foodfeed #goodfood #foodtravel #mediterraeanfood #spices (at Peckham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B57SEi4HVuI/?igshid=m6x6rz5kt6a4

Palm oil free oatcakes - yep made at home, using some turkey fat (#turkeychallenge - using it all) instead of butter or lard, rolled out on the baking sheet, to short to cut then move. * ------------------ * 125g oats 100 g oat bran 60g white flour 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 tsp salt 60g butter, lard, or fat from poultry 80 - 100 ml hot water *preheat oven to 190c *mix all dry ingredients *rub in the cold fat with finger tips *when like breadcrumbs add hot water *mix with a knife and then get your hands in the bowl, mixing and squashing together, it is crumbly *put on a baking tray, greased or non stick(31cm x 31) *roll out, as you do push the rounded edges inwards, and keep rolling, this helps cover the tray. *gently cut into square or rectangles, the smaller the less messy to eat. *cook 10 to 14 minutes a little colour, not too much. Cool and eat or store. . . . #insightofthesea #ISOTS #locavore #casablanca2constantinople #lovepulses #lovegrains #loveseeds #plantbased #wholefoods #oatlover #cleverhands #foodie #instafood #instayum #foodfeed #goodfood (at Peckham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5vZfK4nd-9/?igshid=1008xyw1h2ojv

This a freerange bird from @williamrosebutchers just over 6 kilos plus giblets. Swipe for freezer action ▶️ The bones have made 3 litres of stock and the rest are portioned including liver and spare fat. Hopefully this will last until lent. 22 portions in total, if each half crown can serve 5. Plus the stock for soups 🤞 🦃 👀 look out for things to do with turkey recipes 👀 . . . #turkeychallenge #turkeys #williamrosebutchers #insightofthesea #ISOTS #casablanca2constantinople #cleverhands #foodie #instafood #foodfeed #goodfood #foodtravel #mediterraeanfood #instayum (at Peckham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5pnBmRn9_S/?igshid=stqwdvl9z50g

Hello - Croquetas de Jamon - recipe testing, these recipies won't test themselves. Not too bad, though the jamon could be in tiny cubes rather than very thin slices. 🐖❤ . . . #insightofthesea #ISOTS #casablanca2constantinople #cleverhands #foodie #instafood #foodfeed #goodfood #foodtravel #mediterraeanfood #croquetas #jamon #jamonserrano #instayum (at Peckham) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5kjXdonLd3/?igshid=1g5s0z1vwqv9a
